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

French provincial rush-seated chairs originated in rural France during the 18th and 19th centuries, blending regional artisanal craftsmanship with formal Parisian design influences such as the Louis XV and Restauration styles.

These chairs are crafted from solid regional hardwoods such as walnut, oak, or cherry, paired with hand-twisted natural rush or cattail reeds tightly woven around the seat frame.

Key features include hand-carved terminal details like pied de biche (hoof) feet, pegged mortise and tenon joints, subtle variations in the hand-woven rush, and smooth wear patterns consistent with historical usage.

Arrange the set around a minimalist oak dining table or a rustic scrubbed timber table to introduce warmth, geometric linearity, and tactile natural texture to a contemporary interior.

Dust the timber frames regularly with a soft cloth and apply beeswax periodically, while gently vacuuming the rush seats with a soft brush attachment to remove dust without disturbing the fibres.
