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.
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 Windsor chair is characterised by a solid wooden seat into which the chair legs, back spindles, and armrests are socketed, rather than using continuous legs extending into the backrest. Originating in England during the early eighteenth century, these chairs were produced in regional woodworking centres using native timbers such as yew, elm, and beech.

Traditional Windsor chairs feature steam-bent wooden hoops and spindles, turned legs, and a shaped saddle seat contoured for comfort. High-status historic examples incorporate yew wood for the bent elements and splat, combined with elm for the solid seat panel due to its cross-grained strength.

Authentic period Windsor chairs exhibit hand-turned legs, irregular spindle shapes from drawknife shaping, and original joinery with wedge-secured tenons passing through the seat. Regional maker marks stamped into the seat edge, distinct pierced splat designs, and wear to the stretchers indicate genuine age and manufacture.

A Windsor armchair functions as a tactile accent piece alongside modern upholstered seating in a living space or placed alongside modern dining tables. Positioning the chair individually in a hallway, reading nook, or study adds structural line and warmth to classic or minimalist interior schemes.

Maintain yew wood furniture by dusting regularly with a clean, lint-free cloth and applying a high-quality beeswax polish once or twice annually along the grain. Position the piece away from direct sunlight and radiator heat sources to prevent timber shrinkage, splitting, or fading of the original finish.
