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.

This seventeenth-century Jacobean wainscot armchair is constructed from solid dark brown oak with a dark polished timber finish. The piece takes an English country house style and incorporates a tall panelled backrest, a shaped crest rail with an open heart cutout at the top, curved wooden armrests, and turned front legs supported by low stretchers. Surface evidence of age includes visible wood grain texture, minor historical surface marks, and natural patination across the wood. The chair measures 108 cm high, 50 cm wide, and 40 cm deep, with a seat height of 45 cm. In a modern home, this armchair works well in a hallway, study, or living room as a fireside seat or decorative accent piece.

FAQs

A wainscot chair is an early form of timber armchair characterised by a joiner-made panelled back and heavy frame construction, popular throughout 17th-century Britain.

These chairs were primarily crafted from solid native oak, utilising pegged mortise-and-tenon joinery to secure the frame, panel back, turned legs, and stretchers.

Authentic period pieces feature hand-planed surfaces, wooden peg construction rather than metal nails, evidence of natural timber shrinkage, and dark oxidation in recessed carvings.

A wainscot chair functions well as a focal accent piece in a hallway, library, or living space, contrasting against smooth plaster walls and contemporary textiles.

Maintain historical oak by dusting regularly with a soft dry cloth and applying a thin coat of natural beeswax polish annually, while avoiding direct sunlight and radiators.
