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 Devon during the Georgian era, the Yealmpton armchair is a regional style of vernacular seating characterised by a distinctive cross-back or arrow-back splat, sweeping armrests, and a rush seat.

These chairs were typically crafted from local regional hardwoods such as ash, fruitwood, or oak, often finished with painted surfaces and fitted with woven rush seats.

Authentic examples display hand-carved joinery, peg construction, historical wear patterns on the painted finish, and traditional woven rush seating techniques.

Position the chair as a standalone accent piece in a hallway, beside a writing desk, or alongside contemporary furniture to create textural contrast.

Keep the piece away from direct heat sources and humid environments to prevent timber movement and rush degradation, cleaning gently with a soft dry brush or microfibre cloth.
