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 gained popularity in the nineteenth century as home libraries and private study rooms expanded, necessitating dedicated furniture to access high book stacks and elevated shelving. Many designs doubled as bed steps for climbing into high, mattress-heavy beds of the era.

Victorian library steps were predominantly crafted from solid mahogany or mahogany veneers, often incorporating gold-tooled leather inserts on the treads to provide traction and protect the timber surface.

Authentic pieces feature hand-turned legs, original brass drop handles or carrying fittings, period joinery such as hand-cut dovetails, and evidence of historical wear on the leather treads and timber base.

Library steps function as decorative accent tables beside a sofa, plant stands for indoor foliage, or functional display tiers in a home office or living room corner.

Maintain the timber by applying natural beeswax polish annually and dusting with a microfibre cloth, while treating the leather inserts with a dedicated leather balm to prevent drying and cracking.
