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 19th-century bar back childs commode chair is a scaled-down piece of nursery furniture featuring a horizontal back rail and a hollow seat frame designed to hold a chamber pot beneath a removable lid.

These chairs were predominantly crafted from dense hardwoods such as mahogany, oak, or walnut, utilising traditional joinery methods including mortise and tenon joints to withstand daily nursery use.

Authentic pieces feature period-correct joinery, natural timber patination, hand-turned arm supports or legs, and a removable timber seat insert revealing the internal aperture for a chamber pot.

In contemporary settings, these chairs serve as decorative sculptural accents, side tables for books, or display stands for house plants and collectibles in hallways, living rooms, or bedrooms.

Dust the timber regularly with a soft cloth and apply a high-quality beeswax paste annually to preserve the natural grain finish, keeping the chair away from direct heat sources to prevent timber shrinkage.
