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.

Early 18th-century English walnut side chairs, often associated with the Queen Anne and early Georgian eras, are distinguished by splat backs, shaped aprons, and cabriole front legs. This period marked a transition from vertical high-backed Baroque styles toward organic curves and functional drop-in seats.

Craftsmen utilised solid European walnut or walnut veneers over oak frame cores. Joinery involved hand-cut mortise and tenon joints, pinned for stability, with removable drop-in seat frames upholstered in needlework or tapestry.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-saw marks on secondary woods, irregular pegging in joint construction, and natural oxidation on unvarnished underside timbers. The walnut surface develops a distinct patina with varying depth of grain and colour over time.

A single walnut side chair functions well alongside a minimalist writing desk or placed in an entryway to anchor an artwork display. Combining dark walnut tones with neutral linen upholstery or contemporary wall coverings provides balanced visual contrast.

Keep the chair away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent timber cracking and fabric fading. Apply natural beeswax sparingly to polished timber surfaces and vacuum needlepoint upholstery gently using a soft brush attachment.
