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 lambing chair is a regional British vernacular armchair, traditionally constructed with a solid box base, high panelled back, and side wings designed to shield the occupant from draughts in farmhouses.

These chairs were primarily crafted from native British hardwoods such as oak, elm, or ash, using joined mortise and tenon construction with a solid seat over a box or drawer base.

Authentic 18th-century examples feature heavy timber construction, hand-planed panels, pegged joinery, integrated storage drawers or box seats, and age-related wear on the armrests.

Position the chair in a living room fireside alcove or reading corner, paired with a simple modern floor lamp and natural wool textiles to balance its substantial wood presence.

Maintain the timber by dusting regularly with a soft cloth and applying a clear beeswax polish once or twice a year, keeping it away from direct heat sources to prevent timber shrinkage.
