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

A joint stool, historically written as a joyned stool, is a wooden seating form constructed by a joiner using mortise and tenon joints secured with wooden pegs. Popular throughout the 16th to 18th centuries, these versatile items served as seating, side tables, and functional household surfaces.

Traditionally crafted from solid English oak, these stools feature turned legs connected by rectangular stretchers near the base for structural integrity. The framework is assembled using mortise and tenon joinery reinforced with exposed wooden dowels, avoiding metal nails.

Authentic period joint stools exhibit hand-hewn timber surfaces, wooden peg construction, and uneven surface wear consistent with age. Look for subtle timber shrinkage along the grain and natural patination around the legs and stretchers.

Joint stools function effectively as small side tables beside low armchair seating, understated bedside stands, or lamp tables. Their compact proportions and rich wood tones introduce historic texture to modern living rooms and entryways.

Maintain the original finish by dusting regularly with a clean, dry cloth and applying beeswax polish once or twice per year. Position the timber away from direct heat sources and extreme moisture variations to avoid cracking.
