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

The ladder back style features horizontal slats or rungs set between the upright posts of the backrest, a design originating in vernacular furniture traditions.

These chairs typically combine robust native hardwoods, utilising elm for the shaped solid seats and beech or ash for the frames and turned legs.

Authenticity is indicated by traditional joinery methods, such as pegged mortise and tenon joints, hand-turned components, and natural wear patterns reflecting age.

This piece works well as an accent seat in a living room or study, contrasting clean modern lines with historic texture and warmth.

Maintain the wood by applying microcrystalline wax periodically, avoiding direct sunlight, and keeping the piece away from extreme temperature fluctuations.
