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 19th and early 20th centuries, Cotswold School furniture emphasizes honest craftsmanship, unadorned structural forms, and the natural grain of indigenous timbers. The design philosophy prioritises functional proportions, visible joinery, and minimalist geometric lines.

Interwar workshop furniture typically utilised solid English oak, walnut, or chestnut, assembled with mortise and tenon joinery. Seats were commonly finished with drop-in woven rush, leather, or upholstered textiles.

Authentic workshop pieces frequently feature impressed maker stamps, workshop insignia, or hand-written paper labels on the underside of the frame. Additionally, subtle hand-planed surfaces, precise dovetail or tenon joints, and high-grade solid timber distinguish hand-crafted pieces from mass-produced alternatives.

Pairing timber armchairs with contemporary minimalist tables creates a balanced contrast between natural wood textures and modern surfaces. They function well as accent seating in reading nooks, flanking a sideboard, or positioned as carver chairs at the ends of a dining table.

Oak timber should be maintained by regularly applying a high-quality beeswax polish along the grain and buffing with a soft cloth. Avoid placing solid wood near direct heat sources or in fluctuating humidity to prevent timber movement and cracking.
