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 late 18th-century Britain, Hepplewhite-style ladder-back chairs feature horizontal, wavy or carved cross-rails set within an upright frame, offering a refined balance of Neo-Classical proportions and structural strength.

These chairs are typically constructed from solid mahogany using traditional mortise and tenon joinery, featuring webbed drop-in seat frames upholstered in woven textiles, silk, or velvet.

Authentic period examples display signs of hand-carving along the rail edges, original hand-cut joinery, corner blocking beneath the seat frames, and natural patination or timber oxidisation on unpolished surfaces.

A large set of Hepplewhite-style chairs can be paired with a clean-lined modern timber or stone dining table, allowing their dark wood silhouettes and sculpted backrests to serve as a grounding architectural element.

Dust timber frames regularly with a soft dry cloth and apply beeswax along the grain periodically, while keeping the chairs away from direct radiator heat to prevent timber shrinkage.
