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.

Early 19th-century country hall chairs feature regional vernacular craftsmanship, combining local hardwoods such as elm or oak with natural rush seats and decorative carved back splats.

Craftsmen typically utilised dense local timbers like elm, oak, or ash for the turned frame and stretchers, paired with twisted natural river rush woven across the seat frame.

Authentic period examples display hand-cut joinery, asymmetrical hand-carved decorative motifs on the splat or top rail, and natural wear patterns on the stretchers and seat edges.

These chairs work effectively as accent pieces in modern rustic hallways, paired with contemporary trestle dining tables, or placed in minimalist spaces to introduce natural texture.

Keep the timber clean using a soft dry cloth and periodic application of beeswax polish, while lightly spritzing the rush seat with water occasionally to prevent the natural fibres from becoming brittle.
