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

Ladderback chairs feature a series of horizontal wooden slats arranged vertically along the backrest between two uprights, a design originating in regional country crafts during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.

These chairs are typically crafted from native hardwoods such as oak, ash, or elm, paired with hand-woven rush or envelope seats constructed from dried natural reeds.

Authentic period examples display hand-turned components, subtle variations in slat shaping from hand-planing, pegged joint construction, and natural wear patterns on the lower stretchers.

These chairs work effectively as accent seating in contemporary dining spaces, positioned at the head of a table, or placed in an entryway to balance clean modern lines with wood texture.

Keep timber surfaces clean using a dry cloth and apply natural beeswax periodically, while protecting the rush seat from moisture and gently dusting it with a soft brush attachment.
