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

Originating in the Orkney Islands off Northern Scotland, these chairs were traditionally crafted by local crofters using driftwood or oak frames and locally harvested oat straw to protect sitters from harsh sea draughts.

These chairs typically combine a solid timber frame, often oak or pine, with a hand-stitched straw or rush backrest woven into tight horizontal coils using grass or cord.

Authentic examples feature hand-stitched straw backs, original timber jointing, natural hand-woven variations, and evidence of historical handcrafting rather than modern machine assembly.

Place the piece as a focal accent chair in a quiet reading corner, hallway, or living space to add natural texture, architectural height, and historic warmth alongside contemporary soft furnishings.

Keep the chair away from direct heat sources and excessive moisture to prevent the straw from drying out or moulding, and gently dust the woven back with a soft brush or low-powered vacuum attachment.
