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

An adjustable reading stand is a floor-standing or tabletop apparatus featuring a raised tilt-top rest supported by a central column, designed to hold books, manuscripts, or sheet music at an ergonomic height during reading or performance.

Stands from this era typically combined weighted cast iron bases for stability, tubular brass stems for height adjustment mechanisms, and polished hardwoods such as mahogany, oak, or walnut for the book rest.

Authentic period pieces feature cast metal bases with detailed foot mouldings, heavy-gauge brass tubular uprights with threaded adjustment collars, and articulated extension arms joined with mechanical friction joints.

Place the stand beside a tailored armchair in a living area or study to hold open art books, or situate it alongside a piano to hold sheet music.

Clean the timber rest with a soft cloth and natural beeswax polish, while gently wiping the brass stem with a dry microfibre cloth to preserve its patinated finish without stripping surface oxidisation.
