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.
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.

A smokers bow armchair, often referred to as a captains chair, is a traditional low-backed Windsor-style wooden seat featuring a curved horseshoe-shaped armrest supported by turned spindles.

These chairs are traditionally constructed from British hardwoods, featuring a solid contoured seat made of elm combined with ash or beech turned legs, stretchers, and back spindles.

Authentic period examples feature hand-turned spindles, wedged mortise-and-tenon jointing, visible wear on the stretcher rails from foot placement, and thick saddle-shaped seats carved from a single slab of timber.

Position them alongside a dark wood writing desk, place them flanking a fireplace, or use them as accent seating in a hallway or study to introduce natural wood texture.

Maintain the timber finish by dusting regularly with a soft dry cloth and applying a clear beeswax polish annually, while avoiding proximity to direct heat sources to prevent wood movement.
