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 distinguished by its construction technique, where vertical back spindles and legs are socketed directly into a solid wooden saddle seat, rather than continuing from the back posts.

Yew wood was highly prized by regional chair makers for its elasticity, which allowed for steam-bending into tight hoops, as well as its distinct grain pattern and durability compared to standard native hardwoods.

Authentic period examples often feature maker stamps under the seat edge, hand-carved saddle seats with tool marks, steam-bent bows, and natural wear patterns on the turned legs and stretchers.

A high-back Windsor chair functions well as a standalone accent piece in a hallway, fireside in a living room, or paired with contemporary minimalist furniture to introduce texture and historical context.

Maintain yew wood by applying a quality beeswax polish periodically to protect the finish, keeping the item away from direct heat sources to prevent wood shrinkage, and ensuring stable indoor humidity.
