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.

The Arts and Crafts movement emerged in the late 19th century, emphasizing hand-craftsmanship, simple structural forms, and honest construction techniques over mass industrial manufacturing.

Craftsmen primarily utilised native hardwoods such as solid oak, often paired with natural leather upholstery, woven rush, metal rivets, and carved timber accents.

Authentic pieces typically feature visible joinery, functional metal fittings, geometric or spiral-turned carving, and sturdy proportions designed for both utility and longevity.

Place the chair alongside a contemporary desk or in a reading alcove to allow its rich timber grain and structured profile to create a grounding accent.

Dust the timber frame regularly with a dry cloth, apply bees wax occasionally to nourish the wood, and treat the leather with dedicated conditioner to retain flexibility.
