Archival Detail
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.
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.
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.

The Arts and Crafts movement emphasised handcrafted construction, exposed joinery, and natural materials as a reaction against nineteenth-century mass industrialisation. Designs prioritize functional forms, simple proportions, and honest timber finishes, particularly native hardwoods like oak.

Chairs from this period were commonly made using solid English oak or ash timber, featuring steam-bent wooden armrests, turned legs, and stretchers. Seats were frequently upholstered in natural leather or woven rush, secured with brass studding.

Authentic pieces feature signature design elements such as sweeping, steam-bent arm supports, simple turned stretchers, and high, curved backrests with subtle finial tops. Some examples retain maker marks or inventory stamps underneath the seat frame.

Position the armchair as an accent piece alongside contemporary neutral textiles to highlight the warmth of the oak frame. It functions well in a reading corner, home office, or entry hall paired with simple architectural lighting.

Apply clear beeswax to the timber along the direction of the grain to nourish the wood surface. Original leather seating should be treated with specialized leather conditioner to maintain flexibility and prevent cracking.
