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

Early 20th-century machinist and office chairs were designed for utility and ergonomics, featuring revolving mechanisms, cast iron hardware, curved timber back supports, and durable studded upholstery intended for intense daily use in industrial and clerical settings.

These chairs were primarily constructed from solid hardwoods such as oak or beech, paired with cast iron swivel mechanisms, steel hardware, and leather or heavy-duty oilcloth upholstery secured with brass studding.

Authentic period examples feature cast iron threaded height or tilt mechanisms, natural timber grain variations, stamped patent numbers or maker marks beneath the seat, and original brass tack trim detailing.

An antique machinist chair provides functional seating in home offices, studies, or studio spaces, pairing effectively with reclaimed timber desks, industrial metal shelving, or modern minimalist furniture.

Maintain the timber frame by applying natural beeswax polish along the grain, keep the upholstery conditioned with specialist leather balm, and periodically lubricate the mechanical swivel elements with light machine oil.
