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

Regency period dining chairs, produced roughly between 1811 and 1830, feature Neoclassical influences, crisp linear silhouettes, turned or sabre legs, and detailed back rails such as rope twist or reeded motifs.

Cabinetmakers predominantly utilised solid mahogany and rosewood for their dense grain and structural strength, completing them with French polish or wax to accentuate the natural timber figure.

Authentic period chairs exhibit hand-cut joinery, original corner blocks, natural age-related oxidisation underneath the seats, and subtle hand-carved variations rather than uniform machine production.

These structured timber chairs pair effectively with clean-lined contemporary dining tables or glass surfaces, allowing the deep mahogany tones to provide warmth within minimalist architectural spaces.

Dust regularly using a dry microfibre cloth and apply a clear beeswax polish along the wood grain annually, keeping the furniture away from direct radiator heat and extreme humidity fluctuations.
