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

The captains chair, often featuring a low, rounded spindle back, evolved from traditional Windsor chair designs in the 18th and 19th centuries. It gained popularity in offices, ship cabins, and libraries for its robust construction and enclosed comfort.

These chairs are typically constructed using native hardwoods such as elm, beech, or ash for the seats and frames. Traditional joinery techniques include wedged through-tenons and steam-bent wooden components for the back rail.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-turned spindles, saddle-shaped solid wood seats with adze marks, and natural patina consistent with age. Makers marks, traditional flathead screws, and hand-cut joinery also indicate period manufacture.

This seating piece functions effectively as a desk chair in a home study or as a standalone accent chair in a living room. Pairing the warm timber tones with contemporary minimalism creates a balanced contrast of old and new.

Maintain the finish by dusting with a dry microfibre cloth and applying natural beeswax periodically to nourish the timber. Keep the item away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent wood splitting and fading.
