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.

Originating during the Carolean era in England following the restoration of the monarchy in 1660, these armchairs feature solid oak construction, elaborate relief carving, geometric panelled backs, and turned leg supports.

Pieces from this period were crafted from native English oak using mortise and tenon joinery secured with wooden dowels. Carvings were executed by hand, and turned components were formed using traditional pole lathes.

Authenticity is indicated by hand-planed timber surfaces, irregular peg placement, historical tool marks, and genuine patination. Wear on lower stretchers where feet rested over centuries is also a key indicator.

Position the piece as an architectural focal point in an entryway, library, or living room corner. Contrast the heavy timber structure against contemporary neutral walls, modern artwork, or simple textured cushions.

Maintain the timber by applying a clear natural beeswax polish annually to nourish the wood and protect the patination. Keep the item away from direct heat sources and maintain stable indoor humidity to prevent splitting.
