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

Regional makers crafted early 19th-century country armchairs using locally sourced hardwoods such as elm, ash, and fruitwood. These chairs feature utilitarian designs, hand-turned stretchers, turned front legs, and seats woven from natural freshwater rush.

The frames were constructed from dense British timbers like elm and fruitwood chosen for durability and grain structure. The seat surfaces were woven by hand using dried rush plants gathered along riverbanks and twisted into tight cords.

Authentic period pieces show evidence of hand-tooling, asymmetrical wear on footrests, pegged mortise and tenon joinery, and natural shrinkage across wood joints. The rush seat may exhibit natural colour variation and wear consistent with historical use.

These seating options serve as functional accent pieces in hallways, living rooms, or modern farmhouse dining setups. Contrast the warm timber finish against neutral walls, concrete surfaces, or contemporary upholstery to highlight organic texture.

Keep the timber clean using dry microfibre cloths and apply beeswax once or twice a year to preserve moisture. To prevent the rush from drying out or fraying, lightly mist the underside with water occasionally and avoid direct heat sources.
