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

Thames Valley Windsor chairs are regional variants of traditional English country seating, characterised by tall spindled backs, shaped seats, and distinctively carved or pierced central splats. Rocking versions feature bent timber rockers fixed beneath turned legs, combining functional vernacular woodwork with ergonomic proportions.

These chairs typically incorporate mixed native hardwoods, featuring carved elm seats paired with turned beech or ash spindles and steam-bent yew or oak rockers. The construction relies on joinery where legs and back spindles are socketed directly into hand-shaped solid timber seats and secured with wooden wedges.

Authentic period examples exhibit irregular hand-turned spindles, wedged top-tenon joinery visible on seat surfaces, and natural wear patterns along armrests and rockers. Original patina, shrinkage of round tenons into oval shapes over time, and regional splat motifs further indicate period authenticity.

Position the chair in a living space, bedroom nook, or near a hearth alongside modern neutral textiles to balance historic timber tones. Pairing structured wooden silhouettes with contemporary soft furnishings creates visual contrast in minimalist or country-inspired interiors.

Maintain the chair by dusting with a dry microfibre cloth and applying a high-quality natural beeswax polish periodically to nourish the wood finish. Keep the item away from direct heat sources and central heating radiators to prevent joint shrinkage and timber splitting.
