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.
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.
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.

Early nineteenth-century country rocking chairs were typically constructed by local craftsmen using regional hardwoods such as oak, ash, or elm. They often featured ladderback designs, turned spindles, and woven rush seats, reflecting traditional vernacular woodworking techniques.

Rush seats were created by weaving dried freshwater bulrush strands around the four wood rails of the chair frame in an envelope pattern. This technique provided a durable seating surface that was easily renewable.

Authentic period childs chairs display proportional hand-carved details, subtle irregularities in turned elements, hand-cut joinery such as pegged mortise and tenon joints, and natural wear patterns on the armrests and rocker blades consistent with age.

A childs rocking chair serves as an accent piece in a bedroom, hallway, or living space. Positioning it alongside contemporary soft furnishings or in an empty space adds textural warmth and historical contrast.

Keep the chair in a stable environment away from direct heat sources to prevent timber splitting and rush dehydration. Clean the wooden frame with a soft dry cloth and apply natural beeswax sparingly, avoiding the rush weave.
