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.

Carolean chair design, dating from the Restoration era of Charles II, is identified by tall carved backs, Flemish scrollwork, turned uprights, and the integration of woven cane back panels within walnut framing.

Furniture of this period was predominantly crafted from solid English or European walnut, using mortise and tenon joinery alongside hand-carved decorative elements and hand-woven rattan caning.

Authentic 17th-century pieces display irregular hand-tool marks, evidence of pegged construction, natural shrinkage along timber grain lines, and historical wear patterns on stretchers and scroll armrests.

A carved period armchair serves as an architectural accent piece when placed against minimal backdrop walls, paired with modern linear side tables, or upholstered in plain natural linen fabrics.

Maintain walnut timber using periodic applications of beeswax, avoiding direct heat sources or high humidity, while gently dusting caning with a soft brush to prevent drying out and brittleness.
