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

Maintain the wood by keeping it away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent cracking. Apply microcrystalline wax periodically to nourish the finish rather than using modern silicone-based polishes.

This piece works effectively as a desk chair in a home study or as an accent seat in a living room, providing a warm contrast to contemporary minimalist furnishings through its rich wood grain and traditional silhouette.

Authentication involves examining tool marks, timber shrinkage, patina, and construction methods. Genuine antiques often display hand-turned spindles, saddle-shaped solid wood seats, and signs of age-related wear rather than modern machine-made precision.

Authentic pieces are typically constructed from solid native timbers such as elm, ash, and beech, featuring traditional joinery including pegged mortise and tenon joints and steam-bent wooden components.

The captains chair evolved during the 18th and 19th centuries, originating from Windsor chair designs. It was characterised by a low, rounded back and arms that provided comfortable support for long hours spent at a desk or in a study.
