I am so interested in the red armchair! Who is it made by?

Applying a museum furniture paste wax (such as 'Butcher's') over the existing finish will protect the finish you have to prevent future mishaps.... though ultimately I suggest a cloth or trivet!

Please don't! Any non-archival finish (especially aerosols) will yellow--more so still--if exposed to direct sunlight.

The old paint and oxidation will speed this process, and will look not as nice as it does now regardless. The best (nay, only) thing to use is a furniture paste wax, most of which are museum-quality and suitable for antiques. This will protect both you (which I wouldn't worry too much about) and the piece.

Most hardware stores should have it... it isn't hard to find the Butcher's brand at all.
