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

Produced during the 1830s and 1840s, these stools reflect a transition from Regency classicism to Victorian substantiality. They feature heavy pedestals, triform or circular platform bases, turned or faceted central columns, and integrated screw mechanisms designed to adjust the seat height.

Cabinetmakers primarily used solid wood and high-grade veneers such as figured walnut, mahogany, and rosewood. The internal height-adjustment mechanisms utilised heavy brass or iron threaded rods, while seats were padded with horsehair and upholstered in velvet, leather, or woven wool.

Authentic period examples exhibit hand-cut timber joinery, solid brass or iron screw threads, and substantial weight due to dense hardwoods. Look for triform platform bases with carved scroll feet or brass castors, alongside natural timber patination and age-appropriate wear to the underside mechanism.

An adjustable piano stool serves effectively as an occasional seat in a living room, a vanity stool in a dressing space, or a side table beside a low reading chair. Its compact footprint and functional height mechanism make it versatile for compact spaces.

Apply clear beeswax paste polish to the walnut surfaces periodically to nourish the wood and protect the veneer. Keep the internal metal screw mechanism clean and lightly lubricated with graphite or mineral oil, avoiding liquid cleaners on original upholstery.
