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

Ladder back chairs feature a series of horizontal wooden slats set between two vertical stiles, creating a frame that resembles a ladder. The design originated in 17th-century Europe and gained widespread popularity across regional British woodworking traditions.

These chairs are typically constructed from solid hardwoods such as oak, ash, or elm, joined with mortise and tenon joints. The seats are commonly woven from natural rush, seagrass, or cord to provide flexibility and support.

Authentic regional pieces display hand-turned legs, hand-cut slats with subtle variations in shape, and pegged joinery rather than modern screws or metal fasteners. Wear patterns on the front stretchers and lower legs also indicate historic usage.

Pairing ladder back chairs with a minimalist or contemporary dining table creates a balanced contrast between traditional texture and clean modern lines. Natural fibre rugs placed beneath the dining set help integrate the wooden frames into current decor schemes.

Keep oak frames away from direct heat sources to prevent timber shrinkage, and clean the wood with a soft cloth and natural wax polish. Rush seats should be vacuumed gently using a brush attachment and kept free from excess moisture to preserve the natural fibres.
