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.

Comb back Windsor chairs feature a shaped top rail supported by vertical spindles extending above the arm rail, creating a comb-like profile characteristic of Georgian vernacular furniture.

Regional chairmakers typically combined native hardwoods, utilising carved elm for the solid saddle seat due to its split resistance, along with ash, beech, or yew for turned legs and spindles.

Authentic period examples display hand-carved tool marks, wedge-tenon joints visible through the seat timber, asymmetrical wear patterns on armrests, and natural historic surface patination.

Position the chair as a standalone accent piece in an entryway or reading corner to provide organic texture against neutral walls and minimalist architecture.

Maintain timber stability by applying a high-grade beeswax polish sparingly along the wood grain while keeping the object away from direct heat sources and severe humidity changes.
