Raised on four elegant splayed legs united by turned stretchers and a circular central support, the chair has a rich, warm colour and an attractive decorative appearance.

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

The lyre back design is rooted in Neo-Classical and Regency aesthetics, featuring a backrest central splat carved in the shape of a classical lyre instrument, frequently incorporating brass rods to represent strings.

These chairs were predominantly crafted from solid mahogany or rosewood, fitted with wooden or iron threaded internal screw mechanisms, brass structural elements, and leather or textile upholstered seats.

Authentic period pieces feature hand-cut wooden or heavy cast iron threaded screws beneath the seat, smooth hand-carved turning joinery, and evidence of historic age or wear on the internal mechanism.

A lyre back chair works well as a focal accent piece at a contemporary desk, vanity table, or music room, adding historical contrast against clean architectural lines.

Mahogany should be dusted regularly with a soft cloth and conditioned with natural beeswax, while leather upholstery benefits from occasional gentle cleaning and dedicated leather nourishing cream.
