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.

A pair of seventeenth-century Jacobean oak back stools features rectangular tapestry-covered backs and seats in muted green and blue tones, finished with brass studding along the trim and hanging tassel fringes. The dark timber framework includes bobbin-turned legs joined by matching stretchers, displaying visible wear and age to the fabric surfaces. Each chair measures 93 cm high, 48 cm wide, and 40 cm deep. These side chairs suit placement in an English Country House setting, functioning as decorative seating along a hallway wall or as occasional chairs in a living space. Their compact footprint allows them to fit comfortably into period or traditional interiors while providing authentic historical character.

FAQs

A back stool is an early form of armless side chair that evolved during the seventeenth century from traditional joined wooden stools by adding a fixed padded or timber backrest.

Framing was predominantly constructed from solid oak using mortise and tenon joinery, while upholstery typically utilised heavy woven wool tapestries, needlework, or leather secured with iron or brass upholstery studs.

Authentic period pieces exhibit hand-hewn oak construction, wooden peg joinery, uneven wear on turned stretchers from foot placement, and historic tacking marks along the upholstery rails.

These historical chairs work well as accent pieces in an entryway, flanking a console table, or placed alongside modern minimalist furnishings to create visual contrast through texture and timber tones.

Position items away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent timber movement and fabric fading, vacuum upholstery gently with a soft brush attachment, and nourish exposed oak with beeswax polish.
