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

Spinning chairs were crafted with low seats, narrow backrests, and no armrests to allow wool spinners full freedom of movement while operating a traditional spinning wheel.

Victorian spinning chairs were typically made from solid English hardwoods, predominantly oak or walnut, featuring turned legs and hand-carved relief detailing.

Authentic period examples feature narrow slab backrests, hand-carved decorative motifs, traditional joint construction, and evidence of genuine age-related wear around the seat and legs.

Due to its compact footprint and distinctive high-backed profile, a spinning chair serves effectively as a decorative accent in a hallway, bedroom corner, or beside a hearth.

Dust intricate carvings regularly using a soft dry brush, and apply a high-quality beeswax polish once or twice a year to preserve the wood and maintain its natural lustre.
