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

Developed in the late nineteenth century, a platform rocking chair features a seat frame attached to a stationary base via springs or levers, allowing a smooth rocking motion without damaging floor surfaces.

These pieces typically feature solid hardwood frames such as oak, mahogany, or walnut, joined with traditional joinery, turned timber spindles, heavy steel spring mechanisms, and plush fabric or leather upholstery.

Authentic platform rockers can be identified by the enclosed spring mechanism mounted between the base and seat, hand-turned wooden spindles, period-correct upholstery techniques like deep button tufting, and original brass castors on the feet.

Place the chair near a reading light in a corner or alongside contemporary soft furnishings to create a focal point that balances traditional craftsmanship with modern design elements.

Keep the timber frame clean using a soft cloth and natural wax polish, vacuum the velvet upholstery gently with a brush attachment, and lubricate the internal rocking mechanism periodically to prevent squeaking.
