We have had the mahogany re-polished, the leather has been hand coloured and revived by our leather restorer. The condition is excellent for its age, with some minor wear remaining here and there.

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.

FAQs

Victorian swivel chairs emerged during the 19th century to accommodate the increasing administrative demands of the industrial era, allowing clerks and professionals to move efficiently between multiple workspaces.

These chairs typically feature solid mahogany or oak frames with mortise and tenon joinery, upholstered leather seats finished with brass tacks, and mechanical iron or wooden spindle mechanisms for the swivel function.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-turned wooden components, genuine patination on the timber, period-appropriate brass castors, and traditional hand-hammered tacking along the leather edges rather than modern staples.

Pair this piece with a minimalist contemporary desk to create a striking contrast between modern lines and period craftsmanship, or integrate it into a traditional study for a cohesive workspace aesthetic.

Maintain the timber using microcrystalline wax to nourish the wood without leaving a sticky residue, and treat the leather periodically with appropriate saddle soap or neutral leather balm to prevent drying and cracking.
