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

A Windsor chair is a form of wooden seating constructed with a solid timber seat into which the chair legs, back spindles, and arm supports are round-tenoned. Originating in Great Britain during the eighteenth century, they are characterised by their spindle backs, bentwood hoops, and contoured saddle seats.

Windsor chairs were typically crafted using a combination of regional British hardwoods. Solid elm was frequently selected for the shaped seat due to its interlocking grain, while ash, beech, or yew were preferred for the steam-bent back hoops, turned legs, and carved central splats.

Authentic period examples exhibit hand-carved details, wedge-tenon joinery visible where the legs penetrate the top of the seat, and natural wear to original finishes. The undersides of the seats often display hand-adze marks alongside timber shrinkage consistent with natural ageing.

A single Windsor armchair functions effectively as an accent piece alongside contemporary upholstered furniture, or placed in an entryway or reading corner. Pairing classic wooden seating with minimalist tables provides visual texture and contrast within modern design schemes.

Maintain antique wooden furniture by keeping it clear of direct heat sources and humid environments to prevent timber splitting. Dust regularly with a soft dry cloth and apply a high-quality beeswax polish once or twice a year to preserve the natural patina.
