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.

Thames Valley Windsor chairs are regional English vernacular seating produced during the 18th and 19th centuries, recognisable by their slat or splat back designs and solid elm seats.

These chairs were primarily crafted using ash for steam-bent components and arm supports, shaped elm for the seats, and turned legs, often finished with a dark ebonised stain.

Authentic period pieces show signs of hand-craftsmanship, such as hand-carved seat contours, wedge-jointed leg constructions through the seat, and natural surface wear along high-contact edges.

An ebonised chair functions effectively as a focal accent piece in a modern hallway, study corner, or paired alongside neutral upholstered furniture to create visual contrast.

Preservation requires regular dusting with a soft, dry cloth and occasional application of clear beeswax polish; harsh chemical cleaners and direct heat sources should be avoided to protect the original finish.
