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

Seventeenth-century English oak side chairs, predominantly from the Jacobean and Carolean periods, feature heavy oak joinery, turned uprights, solid wood seats, and carved crest rails. They reflect a transitional design era moving from utilitarian Tudor forms to decorated seating.

These chairs were constructed using mortise and tenon joinery secured with hand-shaped wooden pegs. Made from European oak, they incorporate turned front legs, slatted or panelled backs, and low stretchers for stability.

Authentic period pieces exhibit uneven hand-hewn surfaces, wooden peg construction, natural timber shrinkage over time, and asymmetrical wear on the lower stretchers from feet resting on them. Carvings should show signs of manual chisel work rather than modern machine cuts.

A single period side chair works effectively as an accent piece in an entryway, alongside a writing desk, or placed in an empty corner. The dark oak tone provides textural contrast against contemporary neutral walls and plaster finishes.

Historical oak furniture should be polished once or twice a year using a high-quality beeswax paste applied with a soft cloth. Keep the item away from direct heat sources and high humidity to prevent timber movement or cracking.
