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

Comb-back Windsor armchairs are a regional style of 18th-century seating featuring vertical spindles secured into a solid timber seat and topped with a horizontal back rail shaped like a hair comb.

Craftsmen typically utilised a combination of native regional timbers, selecting elm for the carved seat due to its split-resistant grain, with ash, beech, or fruitwood for the bent arms, spindles, and legs.

Authentic period examples display hand-shaped seats showing adze marks, wedged or pegged joinery, uneven hand-turned spindles, and honest wear on the front stretchers and armrests.

A comb-back armchair serves effectively as a standalone accent piece in modern spaces, introducing rich texture and historic character when set beside a fireplace, reading desk, or neutral backdrop.

Keep the timber away from direct heat sources and central heating vents to prevent shrinkage or splitting, dust regularly with a clean microfibre cloth, and apply clear beeswax polish annually.
