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

A backstool is a 17th-century single wooden chair constructed without arms, featuring a solid seat and decorated back panel, historically crafted by regional joiners in Yorkshire and Derbyshire.

These chairs were crafted from native English oak using mortise and tenon joinery secured with wooden pegs, featuring turned legs, stretchers, and openwork double-arch carved splats.

Authentic pieces feature hand-driven wooden pegs, tool marks from hand planes or chisels, natural timber shrinkage over time, and regional motifs such as scrolled cresting rails and carved pendant drops.

A single backstool can serve as an accent piece placed against a neutral hallway wall, alongside a modern console, or positioned in a study corner to provide historical contrast.

Maintain the timber by dusting regularly with a dry cloth and applying a clear beeswax polish annually, while avoiding placement near heat sources or high moisture areas.
