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 Northern England, Lancashire chairs are characterised by multiple tiers of turned spindles set within a tall backrest frame, traditionally paired with woven rush seating.

These regional chairs were typically constructed using native hardwoods such as beech, ash, or oak, with seats hand-woven from dried natural rush grasses.

Period examples feature turned legs with stretcher support, double or triple rows of turned spindles, hand-woven rush seats, and mortise and tenon joinery.

These chairs suit rustic, farmhouse, or eclectic dining spaces, pairing effectively with natural timber dining tables or contrasting against contemporary minimalistic interiors.

Keep rush seats preserved by occasionally misting lightly with clean water to prevent natural fibres from drying out, whilst cleaning wooden frames regularly and applying natural beeswax polish annually.
