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

Elbow chairs from this period typically feature open armrests supported by turned spindles, a contoured timber saddle seat, and turned legs secured by stretchers. Designs such as the smokers bow or Windsor style were widely produced in regional workshops using local hardwoods.

English provincial furniture makers predominantly used durable local timbers, with elm selected for wide, solid saddle seats due to its resistance to splitting. Back spindles, arm rails, and legs were commonly turned from ash, beech, or fruitwood.

Authentic period examples exhibit hand-turned spindles with subtle irregularities, wedged joinery visible on the seat surface or underside, and natural wear patterns consistent with age, particularly along the armrests and front stretchers.

A pair of country armchairs functions well at the ends of a contemporary dining table, alongside a desk, or flanking a hallway console table. The natural timber tones provide warmth and textual contrast within minimalist or modern rustic schemes.

Preserve the original surface finish by dusting regularly with a soft lint-free cloth and applying beeswax polish once or twice a year. Avoid placing timber chairs directly adjacent to strong heat sources or in areas of extreme humidity.
