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.

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 Scottish crofter chair is a form of regional vernacular seating traditionally constructed in rural Scotland. These armchairs were crafted for functional everyday use in farmhouses and crofts, featuring simple slatted or spindle backs and woven seats made from local materials such as rush, straw, or rope.

Crofter chairs were typically built using locally sourced native hardwoods such as oak, ash, elm, or pine. The seating surfaces were hand-woven using natural fibers like rush, marram grass, or straw, anchored to solid timber frames with simple peg joinery.

Authentic crofter chairs display traditional joinery techniques, such as visible wooden dowels or mortise and tenon joints, rather than modern screws or nails. Look for signs of hand-planed timber, irregular surface patina, and historic wear consistent with regional rural craftsmanship.

A crofter chair serves as a functional accent piece in hallways, reading nooks, or fireside settings. Its strong architectural lines and organic wood grain complement minimal, Scandinavian, and country-inspired interior schemes.

Keep the timber clean by dusting with a dry microfibre cloth and applying natural beeswax sparingly to preserve the wood finish. To protect the woven rush seat, avoid direct moisture and direct heat sources, which can dry out or loosen the natural fibres.
