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.

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

Aesthetic Movement seating is defined by its emphasis on geometric simplicity, fine proportions, and Anglo-Japanese influence. Designs from this era often feature lightweight timber frames, ebonised finishes, and turned spindles, departing from heavy mid-Victorian revival styles.

These chairs were typically constructed using dense hardwoods such as beech or fruitwood, which were stained or lacquered black to simulate ebony wood. Seats were commonly fitted with hand-woven natural cane to maintain a light, architectural silhouette.

Authentic period pieces feature hand-woven cane inserts, traditional pegged mortise and tenon joinery, and refined turned details. The ebonised surface typically demonstrates age-appropriate finish wear revealing the underlying wood grain rather than uniform modern black paint.

The structural profile and dark finish function as a graphic focal point in contemporary settings. Placing the chair against pale walls or alongside modern artwork highlights its architectural lines.

Clean timber surfaces by dusting gently with a dry microfibre cloth, avoiding abrasive chemical polishes. Keep cane seats away from direct heat sources and maintain moderate humidity to prevent the natural cane from drying out or snapping.
