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.

FAQs

Georgian country chairs are vernacular pieces crafted by regional artisans using local woods, prioritising utilitarian function and comfort over classical academic proportions.

They were typically constructed from a mix of native timbers such as elm, ash, oak, and pine, often incorporating solid plank seats and steam-bent components.

Authenticity is determined by examining tool marks, hand-carved joinery, traditional pegging, and the natural oxidisation and wear patterns of early paint or patina.

This piece can serve as a striking focal point in a contemporary room, contrasting cleanly against neutral walls to highlight its sculptural form and historic character.

Preservation involves keeping the item away from direct sunlight and fluctuating humidity, cleaning only with a dry microfibre cloth, and avoiding chemical solvents that strip original pigments.
