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 captains chair, historically derived from nautical and commercial office designs, features a low curved backrest, integrated armrests, and vertical turned spindles.

These chairs were typically constructed from durable hardwoods such as oak, mahogany, or walnut, often featuring turned spindles and leather-upholstered seats secured with metal studding.

Authentic period examples demonstrate traditional mortise and tenon joinery, genuine turned spindles, natural wear along the armrests, and historical patina across the timber and leather.

Position the chair alongside a contemporary desk or within a study reading corner to introduce architectural texture, rich wood tones, and traditional structure.

Maintain the timber by dusting regularly and applying beeswax polish periodically, while treating the leather seat with a specialized leather balm to preserve flexibility.
