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.

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.

This seventeenth-century South Yorkshire joined oak armchair exhibits a rich dark brown timber finish with visible wood grain throughout its structure. The high back incorporates two horizontally arranged carved arcaded cresting rails, each decorated with intricate roundel and scroll motifs and centered around a shaped cut-out opening, flanked by small upright finials at the top corners. The sturdy frame employs visible wooden peg joinery alongside shaped open armrests that curve downward to meet bobbin-turned front supports, which continue downward into matching turned legs linked by a low bobbin-turned stretcher at the front and plain stretchers along the sides. Measuring 101 cm high by 54 cm wide and 44 cm deep with a 41 cm seat height, this period seating option suits integration into a traditional hallway, study, or living space as a decorative and functional historic accent.

FAQs

South Yorkshire joined oak armchairs from the 17th century are known for regional carving details, including double arcaded crest rails with carved scrollwork, open shaped armrests, and mortise-and-tenon frame construction.

Chairs from this period were crafted using joined timber methods, utilizing mortise and tenon joints secured with wooden dowels or pegs, combined with hand-planed oak panels and turned leg supports.

Authentic period pieces display hand-hewn oak timber, irregular wooden peg placement, dark natural oxidisation in crevices, period-appropriate wear on lower stretchers, and traditional mortise-and-tenon construction without modern screws or nails.

A 17th-century oak armchair serves as a strong sculptural accent when placed against a minimalist backdrop, paired with contemporary textured textiles or positioned in an entryway or library setting.

Oak furniture should be kept away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent shrinkage or cracking. Regular cleaning with a soft cloth and occasional application of natural beeswax preserves the timber finish.
