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.

A Windsor chair is characterised by a solid wooden seat into which back spindles and leg sockets are drilled. The hoop back and armrests are traditionally formed using steam-bent timber, creating a sturdy structural design developed in England during the early eighteenth century.

Windsor chairs frequently utilised a combination of native hardwoods. Elm was preferred for the saddle seat due to its interlocking grain, while flexible woods such as yew or ash were used for the steam-bent bows, and beech or oak was turned for the legs and spindles.

Authenticity is evaluated by assessing hand-hewn tool marks, timber shrinkage around joint sockets, hand-turned legs, and natural wear patterns on the seat and stretcher rails. Period examples often exhibit regional construction variations in splat designs and stretcher shapes, such as the curved crinoline stretcher.

A Windsor chair can serve as a single accent seat in a hallway, bedroom, or living space. Positioned alongside minimalist modern furniture or paired with a natural wool throw, its distinctive architectural silhouette provides texture and historical contrast.

To preserve historic timber, maintain a stable indoor humidity level and keep the item away from direct heat sources to prevent timber cracking. Clean surfaces with a soft dry cloth and apply a quality beeswax polish periodically to maintain the surface finish.
