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

Originating in the 19th century, captains chairs feature a low, semi-circular padded or wooden backrest supported by turned spindles. Originally created for ship captains to maintain stability at sea, the design transitioned into commercial, library, and office environments during the Victorian era.

These chairs were crafted from dense hardwoods such as walnut, mahogany, or oak to provide structural integrity. Seating and backrests were typically upholstered in leather secured with individual brass studs, while castors were fitted to the legs for ease of movement.

Authentic pieces display period-accurate joinery, hand-turned timber spindles, and age-consistent patination on the frame and leather. Original brass castors and hand-applied brass studs around the upholstery perimeter are also key identifiers.

Position the chair beside a minimalist contemporary desk or within a study reading nook to introduce historical contrast. Pairing dark timber and leather with neutral walls and clean-lined decor balances traditional and modern aesthetics.

Clean timber surfaces with a soft dry cloth and apply natural beeswax polish annually to preserve the wood finish. Treat leather upholstery with a specialized conditioner to maintain flexibility, ensuring the chair is kept away from direct heat sources to prevent cracking.
