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.
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.
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.

Traditional French piano stools, particularly from the 19th century, feature revolving adjustable seats supported by carved walnut or mahogany frames. They frequently incorporate Louis XV inspired cabriole legs, carved floral aprons, and central threaded wooden or iron spindles for height adjustment.

Craftspeople predominantly utilised dense hardwoods such as European walnut, rosewood, or mahogany for the carved framework, paired with internal iron or wooden threaded mechanisms. Seats were typically upholstered in horsehair, damask, or wool fabric secured with decorative braid or trim.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-turned wooden threads or cast iron screw mechanisms beneath the seat, along with hand-carved detailing on the legs and apron. Look for natural patination on the timber, original joinery, and traditional upholstery techniques beneath the top frame.

Beyond dedicated music spaces, an adjustable antique stool functions effectively as an occasional seat in a living room alcove or alongside a dressing table. Its compact footprint and carved timber details introduce texture and historical detail against streamlined modern decor.

Dust the carved timber regularly with a soft cloth and apply a quality beeswax polish periodically, avoiding build-up in intricate carving. Keep the piece away from direct heat sources to prevent wood shrinkage, and clean fabric upholstery using a gentle brush attachment.
