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

A turners chair, also known as a thrown chair, is a style of vernacular wooden seating constructed entirely from timber components turned on a lathe, widely produced in Britain and Northern Europe during the 16th and 17th centuries.

These chairs are crafted from native hardwoods such as ash, oak, or fruitwood, utilizing mortise and tenon joinery where turned uprights, stretchers, and back spindles interlock directly into vertical posts.

Authentic 17th-century examples display slight hand-turned irregularities, ovality in turned posts caused by natural wood shrinkage over time, hand-planing marks on wooden seats, and wear on lower stretchers.

Position turned chairs as accent pieces in an entryway, alongside a modern wooden table, or in an alcove to introduce geometric structure and historic timber texture into modern spaces.

Clean surfaces with a dry cloth and apply a high-quality beeswax polish annually, keeping the item away from direct heat sources to prevent timber splitting or joint separation.
