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

Originating in the Suffolk village of Mendlesham in the early 19th century, these regional chairs are a distinctive variant of the traditional Windsor chair, characterised by square backs, straight spindles, central pierced splats, and small wooden spheres set into the backrest rails.

Mendlesham chairs typically combine multiple native British hardwoods, such as fruitwood, yew, elm, and ash, often featuring subtle inlay work, a solid elm saddle seat, turned legs, and mortise-and-tenon joinery.

Authentic examples display hand-cut joinery, asymmetrical wear patterns on the wooden seat and stretchers, original fruitwood or yew construction, and specific regional features such as turned balls strung on wires or set between back rails.

A Mendlesham armchair functions as an accent chair in a hallway, positioned alongside an antique desk in a home office, or placed in a living area to introduce historical texture and craftsmanship into modern or country-inspired interiors.

Preserve the original patina by dusting with a soft, dry cloth and applying a high-quality beeswax polish annually, while keeping the piece away from direct heat sources and fluctuating humidity to prevent timber shrinkage.
