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

Arts and Crafts armchairs feature handcrafted wooden frames, clean functional lines, and natural materials such as woven rush seats. Emerging in the late nineteenth century, this design movement favoured honest craftsmanship and organic motifs over industrial mass production.

These chairs were commonly crafted from native hardwoods such as oak, ash, or beech, often treated with a dark stain or ebonised polish. The seats were hand-woven using dried freshwater rushes or natural cattail leaves wrapped tightly across the seat rails.

Authentic period pieces generally feature traditional joinery such as mortise and tenon joints, subtle hand-carved details, and slight natural variations in the rush weave. Markings or catalogued designs attributed to makers like Liberty & Co or William Morris workshops also assist identification.

Positioning a pair of high-backed rush armchairs beside a fireplace or flanking a side table introduces organic texture and historical context. Combining these timber frames with modern neutral upholstery creates a balanced, layered aesthetic.

Rush seats require a stable humidity level to keep the fibres flexible, benefiting from occasional light water misting to prevent cracking. Timber frames should be dusted with a soft dry cloth and maintained with periodic applications of natural beeswax.
