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.

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

Mechanical reclining chairs gained popularity in France during the mid-to-late nineteenth century, combining traditional upholstery with concealed iron or brass ratchet mechanisms to offer adjustable comfort for reading and resting.

These pieces were built using solid hardwood frames, horsehair and webbing for internal padding, iron reclining ratchets, decorative velvet or wool upholstery fabrics, and castors for mobility.

Authentic period examples feature hand-forged or cast iron extension ratchets under the armrests or footrest, hand-stitched horsehair padding, period-correct brass castors, and traditional mortise-and-tenon frame joinery.

Place the chair as a standalone focal piece in a bedroom nook, study, or living space, pairing its rich velvet texture and vintage silhouette with understated modern lighting and neutral walls.

Clean upholstery gently using a soft vacuum attachment, avoid direct sunlight to prevent fabric fading, and keep internal metal ratchets functional by applying non-corrosive mechanical lubricant when necessary.
