Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

An elbow chair, often referred to as a carver chair or open armchair, features raised armrests supported by turned or shaped uprights. Historically developed in regional workshops across Britain, these pieces were frequently positioned at the head of a dining table or alongside a hearth.

Craftsmen typically utilised locally sourced hardwoods such as elm for the dense, split-resistant seats, alongside ash or beech for the bent steam-curved backs, spindles, and turned legs. The combination of different woods allowed makers to utilise the specific mechanical properties of each timber.

Authentic examples display hand-turned components with minor irregularities, joint construction using wooden pegs or wedged tenons, and distinct wear patterns on the stretchers and footrests. Natural shrinkage over time often results in slightly oval rather than perfectly round turnings.

These timber pieces serve as effective contrast elements in contemporary spaces, functioning as standalone accent chairs in hallways, reading nooks, or mixed with modern dining furniture. Pairing warm wooden textures against neutral walls or minimalist decor highlights their sculptural silhouette.

Maintain the woodwork by dusting regularly with a soft cloth and applying a thin coat of natural beeswax polish annually along the grain. Keep the chair away from direct heat sources and extreme humidity fluctuations to prevent timber warping or joint loosening.
