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 late 19th and early 20th centuries, Arts and Crafts rocking chairs emphasise honest craftsmanship, hand-turned timber elements, and functional design, often featuring ladder backs and spindle gallery arms popularised by makers like Liberty & Co.

Traditional English rocking chairs were primarily constructed from native hardwoods such as oak, beech, or ash, joined using mortise and tenon joinery, and frequently featured hand-turned spindles and steam-bent wooden rockers.

Authentic period pieces feature hand-turned details, traditional joinery without modern metal fasteners, original hand-applied wax or varnish finishes, and occasionally maker stamps or metal badges from workshops such as Liberty & Co.

Position the chair in a quiet corner paired with a woven wool throw, a slim floor lamp, and a minimalist side table to create a balanced contrast between historic craftsmanship and contemporary decor.

Maintain the wooden frame by dusting regularly with a soft microfibre cloth and applying a high-quality beeswax polish annually, while keeping the piece away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent timber warping.
