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

Arts and Crafts furniture emerged in the late 19th century as a movement emphasising traditional craftsmanship, simple structural forms, and honest materials in reaction to industrial mass production.

These pieces typically utilise native hardwoods such as oak, ash, or elm for the frame, paired with hand-woven natural freshwater rush or dried plant fibres for the seat.

Authentic pieces display distinct design details such as turned legs, understated geometric cut-outs in the backrest, traditional mortise and tenon joinery, and quality hand-twisted rush seating.

An oak armchair works well as a singular accent piece in a quiet reading corner, at a desk space, or paired alongside contemporary neutral upholstery to balance texture and history.

Clean the oak frame with a dry cloth and clear beeswax polish, while keeping the rush seat lightly dusted and away from excessive dampness or direct heat sources to prevent drying out.
