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

Developed during the late Georgian and Regency periods, revolving music chairs combine a decorative seat with a threaded mechanism that allows the height to be adjusted for playing instruments such as the piano or harp.

They were predominantly crafted from dense hardwoods like satinwood, mahogany, or rosewood, featuring hand-carved threaded wooden or iron central spindles, painted floral accents, and woven cane or silk upholstered seats.

Authentic period examples display hand-cut threaded adjustment screws, hand-painted polychrome decoration beneath aged varnish, smooth wear around the turning mechanism, and original joinery techniques like mortise and tenon joints.

Position this chair beside a piano in a living room, alongside a writing desk in a home office, or as an accent seat in a hallway or reading area to introduce historical craftsmanship.

Keep the wood out of direct sunlight to prevent fading of the hand-painted detailing, wax sparingly with beeswax along the frame, and ensure the threaded height adjustment screw remains clean and operational.
