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.

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 19th century, Sussex chairs were inspired by a traditional regional design from Sussex, England, and popularized by Morris & Co. They feature simple turned wooden frames, spindle backs, and lightweight construction reflecting the Arts and Crafts philosophy.

These chairs are typically constructed from turned hardwoods such as beech or ash, often stained or ebony-finished, and feature woven rush or padded upholstered seats supported by horizontal stretchers.

Authentic period examples exhibit hand-turned spindles, subtle irregularities in joint construction, natural age-related wear or oxidisation to the wood finish, and historic joining methods rather than modern fixings.

A Sussex side chair functions well as an occasional chair in an entryway, alongside a modern writing desk, or paired with contemporary soft furnishings to introduce historical texture.

Keep the chair in a climate-controlled environment away from direct heat sources to prevent wood movement, dusting regularly with a microfibre cloth and applying beeswax polish sparingly along the grain.
