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 vernacular Windsor armchair from the 18th century is characterised by a solid wooden seat board into which the legs, back spindles, and arm supports are socketed directly, rather than joined to a framed structure.

Craftsmen typically utilised local British hardwoods, combining a solid slab of elm for the carved saddle seat with steam-bent ash or yew wood for the hoops, and turned oak or beech for the spindles and legs.

Authentic 18th-century examples display hand-shaved spindles with subtle irregularities, hand-carved seat contours, wedged tenons visible through the seat surface, and natural wear to the stretcher rails.

A single Windsor armchair functions effectively as an accent piece in a contemporary hallway, placed beside a modern side table, or positioned at the head of a dining setup to introduce historic texture.

Keep the chair positioned away from direct heat sources and radiator vents to prevent timber shrinkage. Apply a natural beeswax polish once or twice a year, buffing along the grain to preserve the patination.
