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 wainscot chair is a heavy, wooden armchair featuring a solid, panelled backrest, constructed primarily in 16th and 17th-century Europe. The term derives from the high-grade oak boards used in panelwork, known as wainscot oak.

These chairs are predominantly crafted from native solid oak using mortise and tenon joinery secured with wooden pegs. They feature hand-carved back panels, turned front arm supports, and heavy perimeter stretchers near the base for structural rigidity.

Authentic period examples display signs of hand-planing, slightly irregular dimensions, genuine wear on the front stretcher from foot placement, and timber shrinkage around wooden peg joints over centuries.

A wainscot chair serves as an architectural statement piece when placed individually in an entryway, library, or drawing room. Softening the hard timber frame with a simple linen cushion creates a balanced contrast against modern surrounding decor.

Maintain the finish by applying a thin coat of natural beeswax polish once or twice a year to nourish the oak timber. Keep the chair away from direct heat sources and extreme changes in humidity to prevent wood movement and splitting.
