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.

Lancashire chairs from the 17th century typically feature solid oak construction, carved crest rails with scrollwork, recessed back panels, and bobbin or ball-turned front stretchers characteristic of Northern English regional furniture.

These chairs were constructed using solid native English oak, joined with traditional mortise and tenon joinery secured with wooden pegs, featuring turned leg supports and solid plank seats.

Authentic pieces display hand-planed surfaces, uneven wear on foot stretchers from historic use, peg joinery that stands slightly proud of the surface over time, and an oxidized patina from centuries of wax polishing.

Pair these structured oak chairs with neutral linen fabrics, place them alongside clean-lined dining tables, or position them as individual accent seats in entryways and hallways to introduce historical texture.

Dust surfaces regularly with a soft dry cloth and apply a high-quality beeswax polish once or twice per year, avoiding synthetic sprays, excess water, and placement near direct heat sources.
