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.

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 North West of England during the 18th century, Lancashire spindleback chairs are regional country seating characterised by rows of turned wooden spindles set into the backrest and woven rush seats.

These chairs were constructed using native hardwoods such as oak, ash, or elm with traditional mortise and tenon joinery, fitted with seats hand-woven from natural dried rush.

Authentic Georgian examples exhibit hand-turned spindles, subtle hand-planed irregularities across the frame, authentic wear around the stretchers from foot placement, and genuine patina on both wood and rush.

A set of spindleback chairs introduces texture and historical contrast when placed alongside modern dining tables made from scrubbed timber, stone, or glass.

Keep the timber away from direct heat sources to prevent shrinkage, wax the frame periodically with natural beeswax, and lightly mist the rush seats annually to maintain moisture.
