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

Low or open library bookcases from this period often feature detailed architectural carvings, decorative pilasters, adjustable shelving mechanisms, and solid mahogany timber constructed for study or library environments.

These pieces typically utilise solid mahogany or mahogany veneers over oak backing, constructed with hand-cut dovetail joints, carved friezes, and timber saw-tooth ratchets or metal pegs for adjustable shelves.

Authentic items can be identified by hand-planed timber surfaces, historical shelf adjustment mechanisms, original backboard construction, and age-consistent wear along the shelf edges and base.

A matching pair can be positioned on either side of a fireplace, window, or doorway to create architectural balance, layered with books, ceramic objects, and framed art.

Dust regularly with a dry cloth and apply a clear beeswax polish annually to protect the original finish, keeping the timber away from direct heat sources and sunlight.
