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.

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.

Designed during the 19th century in British India, a planters chair is a low-slung reclining armchair characterised by long flat armrests that swivel outwards to serve as leg supports.

These chairs were predominantly crafted from dense native hardwoods such as teak or rosewood, combined with woven cane seating to allow air circulation in warm climates.

Authentic period pieces typically exhibit hand-carved floral or scroll crests, traditional mortise and tenon joinery, heavy rosewood construction, and swivelling timber leg rests attached to extended armrests.

Position the chair in a bright living area, study, or conservatory alongside neutral linen accents and potted foliage to complement its distinct architectural silhouette.

Keep the timber away from direct heat sources to prevent warping, dust the turned wood regularly, and apply a natural beeswax polish periodically to maintain the timber finish.
