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.

An Oxford bar back Windsor chair is a Regional English design characterised by a flat top rail, turned horizontal spindles or carved cross-bars, and arms supported by turned balusters above a solid saddle seat.

Victorian craftsmen typically combined regional hardwoods, utilising shaped elm for the solid seats alongside ash, beech, or yew wood for the turned legs, stretchers, and back supports.

Authentic 19th-century pieces display hand-carved details, wedge-tenon joinery visible through the seat, natural wear to lower stretchers, and uneven patination beneath the arms and back rails.

A Windsor armchair functions as a desk chair or hall seat, pairing with contemporary minimalist decor to highlight its turned wood silhouette and dark timber tone.

Maintain historical wooden armchairs by dusting regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth and applying beeswax polish once or twice a year, keeping the wood away from direct heat sources to prevent cracking.
