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 backstool is a regional English chair form developed in the 17th century, originating as a stool fitted with a wooden backrest. Yorkshire examples feature openwork carved arches, scrollwork cresting rails, and pendant drops.

These chairs were crafted from solid English oak using traditional mortise and tenon joinery secured with wooden pegs. They feature turned legs, stretcher rails, and hand-carved decorative panels.

Authentic period pieces exhibit hand-hewn wood surfaces, historical pegged joinery, uneven wear patterns on front stretchers, and carved motifs characteristic of regional English workshops.

Period oak chairs provide historic texture when paired with modern dining tables, placed as accent seating in a hallway, or incorporated into eclectic interior schemes.

Keep oak furniture away from direct heat sources and fluctuating humidity. Dust regularly with a soft dry cloth and apply natural beeswax polish periodically to maintain the wood patina.
