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

Library steps were developed during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries to allow access to higher shelves in private libraries, estates, and academic institutions, evolving into distinct decorative furniture pieces.

These steps were primarily constructed from dense hardwoods such as oak, mahogany, and walnut, often utilizing joinery techniques like mortise and tenon joints to withstand regular structural weight.

Authentic period steps exhibit signs of natural timber shrinkage, hand-cut joinery marks, historical wear patterns on the treads, and original wax or varnish finishes showing natural oxidisation.

Position the steps beside tall fitted bookcases or in an unused room corner to add verticality, timber warmth, and structural interest to studies or living spaces.

Dust the timber regularly with a soft cloth and apply a high-quality beeswax polish annually, avoiding direct heat sources or damp environments to prevent wood movement and splitting.
