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

A breakfront bookcase features a central section that projects forward beyond the flanking side sections. This architectural form emerged in the eighteenth century to add dimension and visual interest to large library furniture.

Historically, native hardwoods such as English oak, walnut, and mahogany were selected for their durability and dense grain, which allowed cabinetmakers to execute intricate relief carving and detailed mouldings.

Authentic pieces from this period typically exhibit hand-carved decorative motifs, hand-cut dovetail joints, oak backing boards, and evidence of natural age oxidation within the carved recesses.

An open carved bookcase can be integrated into a contemporary space by balancing books with neutral ceramics, modern sculptures, and minimalist decorative objects to complement the detailed woodwork.

Dust the carved surfaces regularly with a soft, dry brush or microfibre cloth to remove build-up in deep relief areas, and apply a high-grade beeswax polish annually to protect the timber and maintain its patination.
