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

First popularised by Michael Thonet in the mid-19th century, bentwood bistro chairs utilised steam-bending technology to produce lightweight, durable, and mass-producible seating for European cafes and dining spaces.

Bentwood chairs are constructed using solid beechwood, which softens under steam to allow precision shaping, alongside moulded plywood seat panels and supportive structural aprons.

Authentic mid-century bentwood chairs feature paper manufacturer labels or stamped maker marks under the seat frame, alongside visible steam-bent wood joinery and period screw fixings.

A pair of bentwood chairs can be integrated into contemporary spaces alongside a solid timber dining table, styled as accent seating in an entryway, or paired with minimalist decor to balance traditional craftsmanship.

Preserve vintage bentwood furniture by keeping timber away from direct heat sources, cleaning surfaces with a damp cloth, and periodically applying clear wax polish to maintain the finish.
