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

A Windsor armchair is defined by a solid wooden seat into which the back spindles, arm supports, and legs are directly socketed using joinery techniques, rather than relying on continuous corner posts.

Windsor chairs were typically constructed using a combination of regional native hardwoods, featuring contoured elm for the seat alongside fruitwood, beech, or ash for turned legs, spindles, and armrests.

Authentic nineteenth-century examples feature hand-turned spindles, wedged tenon joints visible under or through the timber seat, and natural patination from historic use, particularly along the stretchers and armrests.

A Windsor chair functions well as an accent piece in a hallway, pulled up to a contemporary writing desk, or paired alongside upholstered seating to introduce warm wood tones and structural contrast.

Maintain the timber by dusting regularly with a soft cloth, applying clear beeswax polish periodically, and keeping the piece away from direct heat sources to prevent moisture loss and cracking.
