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

Welsh country furniture from the 18th century is characterised by solid regional oak construction, local timber usage, and distinctive hand-carved decorative motifs reflecting vernacular woodworking traditions.

Craftsmen utilised native oak timber, assembling the frame with traditional mortise and tenon joinery secured with wooden pegs rather than modern mechanical fasteners or synthetic adhesives.

Authentic period pieces feature hand-planed surfaces, irregular peg placement at the joints, historical wear patterns along lower stretchers, and deep, natural patination across the wood grain.

Position the chair as a singular accent piece alongside understated contemporary furnishings, neutral backdrops, or woven natural textiles to emphasize the historic timber texture.

Dust regularly using a dry microfibre cloth to clean carved recesses, and apply a thin layer of natural beeswax polish annually to protect the surface patination.
