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.

This nineteenth-century English country armchair is constructed from ash and elm timber in a warm brown colour with a patinated finish. The design incorporates a high spindle back, a pierced central splat, a shaped wooden seat, turned arm supports, and a crinoline understretcher joining the turned legs. The timber displays visible grain patterns on the seat alongside minor surface wear consistent with age, and all structural joints remain sound. Measuring 108 cm high, 57 cm wide, and 65 cm deep with a seat height of 44 cm, the armchair suits placement as a desk seat, a reading chair in a living room, or a functional accent piece in a traditional hallway.

FAQs

Originating in England during the early 18th century, Windsor chairs were traditional country furniture items crafted by rural bodgers and woodworkers using locally sourced native timbers and steam-bending techniques.

Windsor chairs frequently feature a solid elm seat due to its resistance to splitting, combined with steam-bent ash or yew for the back hoop and turned beech or ash for the legs and spindles.

Authentic 19th-century examples typically display hand-shaped seats with visible leg tenons wedged through the top, micro-variations from hand-tooling, and structural features like a steam-bent crinoline stretcher.

A Windsor armchair creates contrast alongside contemporary furniture, functioning as a accent piece in a reading corner, study, hallway, or positioned at the head of a dining table.

Maintain stable humidity levels away from direct heat sources, dust regularly with a soft dry cloth, and apply a natural beeswax polish periodically to protect the timber surface.
