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

Root wood furniture is crafted from the reclaimed stump or underground root system of harvested trees, particularly teak. Popularised in Southeast Asia and adopted globally in organic modern design, these pieces utilise the natural shape and grain of the wood rather than milled timber.

Teak root chairs are formed by carving or shaping a single salvaged root section or joining solid teak root segments. The high natural oil content and dense grain of teak provide structural integrity and resistance to wear.

Authentic teak root pieces feature irregular, organic grain patterns, natural voids, and significant physical weight. Machine-replicated or composite pieces often display repetitive synthetic patterns or uniform grain density, lacking the unique structural growth marks of real teak roots.

Position a teak root chair as a sculptural focal point against neutral textured walls or alongside minimalist furnishings. Pair with soft woven textiles, such as wool throws or linen cushions, to contrast the rugged organic form.

Dust regularly using a soft brush to clear particles from deep crevices and natural grain recesses. To maintain a weathered grey appearance, leave untreated, or apply a specialised teak sealer to protect against moisture without altering the colour.
