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 ladder back chairs, historically crafted in regional France, feature horizontal wavy splats arranged like ladder rungs between upright posts. They typically combine Louis XV influence, such as cabriole legs and carved crest rails, with natural rush seating.

These chairs are predominantly constructed from dense native hardwoods such as oak, beech, or fruitwood. The seats are hand-woven using natural rush or cattail grasses attached directly to the timber frame.

Authentic pieces feature pegged tenon joinery, subtle asymmetrical hand-carved motifs like shells or flowers on the crest and apron, and genuine woven rush seats showing subtle variations in natural fibres.

Pair these chairs with a minimalist oak or scrubbed pine table to create balance, or place them in a modern interior to add texture, warmth, and organic timber notes.

Dust the timber regularly with a soft cloth and apply clear beeswax occasionally to protect the finish. Gently vacuum rush seats with a brush attachment and avoid excess water, which can soften natural grass weave.
