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

During the Victorian period, small stools were functional household items used near hearths or as low footrests. Yew wood, particularly burr yew with dense swirling grain, was favoured by country cabinetmakers for its strength and distinctive visual pattern.

Stools from this era were typically constructed from solid hardwoods such as yew, oak, or walnut. Legs were shaped using a lathe to produce turned turnings and fitted into the solid wooden top using traditional wedged mortise and tenon joints.

Authentic pieces display natural variations in wood colour, hand-turned leg details, and irregular burr grain formations. Original surface oxidisation and signs of wear consistent with age, such as smoothing on lower leg sections, help verify authenticity.

A small wooden stool functions well as an accent piece beside a fireplace hearth, next to a low armchair, or positioned in a hallway alcove. It adds texture and historical balance when paired with modern upholstered furniture.

Clean the surface regularly using a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. Apply a thin layer of natural beeswax polish annually to protect the timber, and position the piece away from direct heat sources to prevent wood movement or splitting.
