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.

Originating in 16th-century France and England, a porters chair was traditionally placed by the entrance of a hall or grand home for the hall porter. The enclosed high back and hooded canopy were designed to trap heat and shield the occupant from cold draughts near doors.

Traditional hooded chairs of this style feature a bentwood or timber skeleton frame wrapped in woven natural fibres such as wicker, rattan, or cane. The interior is frequently fitted with padded cushion panels upholstered in heavy cotton, wool tapestry, or linen fabrics.

Authentic wicker porter chairs exhibit hand-woven cane or willow strand work around a structural wooden frame rather than plastic synthetic resin. Examining the underside reveals natural timber joinery, hand-stitched upholstery attachment, and uniform aging on the natural fibre.

A wicker porter chair functions as a architectural accent piece in a reading corner, hallway, or sunroom. Pairing the textured woven shell with neutral modern surroundings or minimalist side tables allows the tall silhouette and patterned interior upholstery to stand out.

Vacuum the woven wicker regularly using a soft brush attachment to remove dust from the crevices. Avoid exposing natural wicker to excess moisture or direct sunlight to prevent drying out or fading, and clean fabric upholstery using professional dry upholstery methods.
