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 captains chair is a low-backed armchair characterized by a rounded, horseshoe-shaped backrest supported by turned wooden spindles. Historically used on ships and in Victorian offices, these designs frequently feature swivel bases and buttoned leather upholstery.

Traditional construction utilizes solid hardwoods, most commonly mahogany or oak, alongside hand-tufted hide leather, brass studding along the borders, and iron or brass swivel mechanisms.

Authentic period pieces feature solid brass castors, hand-turned spindles, original tension spring mechanism housing underneath the seat, and natural patination on both the timber and leather surface.

Position the chair behind a mahogany writing desk or pair it with neutral contemporary office furnishings to create a balanced interior contrast.

Position the item away from direct heat sources to prevent leather cracking, apply specialized leather conditioner periodically, and treat the mahogany frame with natural beeswax.
