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 high comb-back Windsor chair features vertical wooden spindles extending upwards from a central rail to a prominent horizontal top rail that resembles an ornamental hair comb.

English regional makers typically combined elm for the carved saddle seat, ash or beech for the bent steam-wood elements and turned spindles, and oak or fruitwoods for legs and stretchers.

Authentic 19th-century examples show hand-carved seat contours, wedged tenon joinery where spindles meet the seat, age-appropriate timber shrinkage around joints, and original tool marks on the underside.

Position a high-back Windsor chair alongside clean-lined modern upholstery or neutral minimalist backgrounds to create visual contrast between traditional woodwork and contemporary decor.

Dust the chair regularly with a soft cloth and apply a natural beeswax polish twice yearly to preserve the timber moisture and natural surface patina while keeping it away from direct heat sources.
