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

Originating in the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries, a commode chair (also known as a close stool) is an armchair designed with an enclosed box seat constructed to house a chamber pot concealed beneath a hinged wooden lid.

English commode chairs from the early Georgian period were predominantly crafted from native hardwoods such as solid oak, walnut, or fruitwood, featuring mortise and tenon joinery alongside hand-turned front supports and spindles.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-sawn timber marks, original wooden pegged joints, uneven patination around the seat frame, and signs of internal alterations where historic chamber pot fittings were later removed or adapted.

These historic armchairs function effectively as accent seating in hallways, reading corners, or quiet bedroom alcoves, where the deep timber tones offer visual weight and historical character alongside textured natural fabrics.

Maintain the original finish by dusting regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and applying a clear beeswax polish once or twice per year, keeping the item away from direct heat sources and fluctuating humidity levels.
