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.

Regency style chairs, often associated with cabinetmakers like Gillows of Lancaster, feature neoclassical influences, refined proportions, turned or reeded legs, and elegant timber selection such as mahogany or rosewood.

These chairs were predominantly crafted from solid mahogany or rosewood, frequently incorporating natural woven cane seats or drop-in upholstered pads.

Authentic pieces display hand-cut joinery, crisp wood carving, quality timber weight, precise reeding, and original construction marks or stamps on the seat rails.

They serve as accent seating in hallways, flanking a console table, as desk chairs in a study, or placed at bedroom dressing tables to introduce historical warmth.

Mahogany should be polished periodically with natural beeswax, while woven cane benefits from occasional light humidification to prevent brittle strands from splitting.
