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 wainscot chair is a heavy, joiner-made oak armchair featuring a panelled backrest, flat armrests, and robust legs connected by stretchers. Originating in the 16th and 17th centuries, these chairs served as formal seating for the head of a household or primary master.

These chairs were crafted from native English oak using mortise and tenon joints held together with hand-carved wooden pegs. The timber was split or hand-sawn, featuring thick fielded back panels, sturdy plank seats, and turned or square-section framing.

Authentic period pieces exhibit uneven hand-hewn surfaces, wooden peg construction rather than modern screws, and dark oxidation around joint intersections. Natural shrinkage over centuries often results in slightly irregular proportions and subtle warping along the oak grain.

A heavy 17th-century armchair creates strong visual contrast when set against crisp, light-coloured walls or minimal contemporary backdrops. Positioning the chair in a hallway, reading corner, or beside modern textiles highlights its sculptural profile and historical surface texture.

Apply high-quality beeswax paste once or twice a year to nourish the timber and protect the original surface finish. Keep the furniture away from direct heat sources and extreme changes in humidity to prevent timber splitting or joint separation.
