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.

Side chairs from this period combine classic Georgian proportions with distinct regional Scottish carving traditions. They typically feature solid oak construction, intricate back splats, and robust leg framing designed for structural durability.

Georgian furniture makers primarily utilised native hardwoods such as oak, mahogany, and walnut. Seats were typically upholstered in wool tapestry, horsehair cloth, or rich woven fabrics over horsehair stuffing and webbing.

Authentic pieces feature hand-carved decorative motifs showing minor asymmetrical variations, pegged mortise-and-tenon joints, and natural wood shrinkage along the grain corresponding to centuries of aging.

A pair of carved oak side chairs can be positioned flanking a hall table, placed on either side of a fireplace, or used as accent seating at the ends of a modern dining table to create visual contrast.

Timber surfaces should be dusted with a soft, lint-free cloth and treated periodically with clear beeswax polish. Velvet upholstery requires gentle vacuuming with a soft brush attachment and professional spot cleaning if required.
