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.

18th-century Georgian dining chairs are defined by high-quality Cuban or West Indian mahogany, pierced back splats, serpentine top rails, and balanced classical proportions. Mid-Georgian designs frequently incorporate ornate fretwork and drop-in upholstered seats.

Primary construction relied on solid mahogany prized for its strength and rich timber grain. Frame joinery used traditional mortise-and-tenon construction secured with wooden dowels, while seats were upholstered using natural horsehair, hessian, and woven webbing.

Authentic period pieces show signs of hand-craftsmanship, such as hand-cut dovetails on seat frames, slight irregularities in hand-carved details, and dark oxidisation on unpolished undersides. Original drop-in frames typically display hand-planed timber marks.

Rich mahogany frames contrast effectively against contemporary minimalist dining tables or light, neutral paint schemes. Reupholstering the drop-in seats in modern linen or textured wool bridges the gap between historical craftsmanship and contemporary decor.

Dust mahogany frames regularly with a soft, dry cotton cloth and apply a high-quality beeswax polish once or twice a year to nourish the wood. Keep chairs away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent timber shrinkage and fabric fading.
