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

Originating in Buckinghamshire, England, in the early eighteenth century, the Windsor chair evolved as a regional vernacular seating form created by country wheelwrights and bodgers. It is defined by round-tenoned spindles and legs fitted directly into a solid wooden seat.

Windsor chairs traditionally combine multiple native hardwoods, utilizing solid elm for the contoured saddle seat due to its interlocking grain, alongside steam-bent ash, fruitwood, or beech for the crest rails, spindles, turned legs, and stretchers.

Authentic period examples feature single-piece adzed elm seats, visible wedged tenons on the top rail and seat underside, natural shrinkage marks around joints, and genuine patination along areas of frequent contact such as the handrests.

A traditional wooden Windsor armchair functions well as an accent piece alongside contemporary upholstered furniture, paired with a modern desk, or positioned in an entryway to introduce architectural silhouette and warm wood tones.

Maintain the wood finish by applying a natural beeswax polish twice yearly, dusting regularly with a soft cloth, and keeping the item away from direct heat sources and fluctuating humidity to prevent timber splitting.
