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.
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.
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.

Originating in the nineteenth century, captains chairs were low-backed tub armchairs designed for maritime vessels and commercial offices, featuring curved armrests, solid turned spindles, and deep-buttoned upholstery.

authentic pieces from this period were crafted using solid hardwoods such as oak, mahogany, or walnut, paired with full-grain leather upholstery, horsehair stuffing, and hand-tacked brass studding.

Authentic items display hand-turned wood spindles, original brass studding pattern marks, natural leather surface wear, and hand-joined oak framing underneath the seat frame.

This seating style provides visual grounding when paired with a contemporary minimalist writing desk or placed in an executive study alongside dark timber bookshelves.

Maintain the leather with specialized wax balsam to prevent cracking, keep the piece away from direct heat sources, and polish the turned oak legs using beeswax.
