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

Eighteenth-century country side chairs were produced by local regional workshops using native hardwoods like elm and oak. They typically feature simplified adaptations of formal urban designs, incorporating vasiform splat backs, solid timber seats, and turned stretchers.

These chairs were crafted from solid elm, valued for its durability and distinct grain figuring. Traditional joinery methods include hand-cut mortise and tenon joints, wooden pegged construction, and turned stretchers for cross-bracing.

Authentic period chairs display hand-planed surfaces, subtle asymmetry from hand production, natural shrinkage along the wood grain, and uneven wear on foot stretchers. Original joinery incorporates wooden pegs rather than modern wire nails or machine screws.

Antique country chairs can be placed around a modern dining table to create visual contrast through mixed materials. They also function effectively as standalone accent seating in hallways, bedrooms, or beside writing desks.

Keep elm seating away from direct heat sources and radiators to prevent timber shrinkage and cracking. Dust regularly with a dry cloth and apply a high-quality beeswax polish annually to preserve the timber and protective finish.
