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.

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

Regency open bookcases typically feature classical architectural details such as turned side columns, low horizontal proportions, and decorative friezes. During this period, craftsmanship favoured painted graining techniques to imitate costly timber like rosewood, paired with classical motifs such as gilt stars and marble surfaces.

Cabinetmakers used paint and specialised graining tools over local timber, such as pine or oak, to simulate expensive imported woods like rosewood and mahogany. These pieces were often trimmed with brass or gilt embellishments and fitted with marble or slate tops.

Authentic period faux finishes display hand-painted brush strokes, uneven stippling, and natural age-related craquelure or wear on contact points. The underlying timber carcase construction typically exhibits hand-sawn backboards and traditional joinery methods.

An open bookcase functions well as a low console along a hallway or living space, displaying curated ceramics and bound books. The dark tones provide balance against neutral wall colours while adding structural interest through architectural column details.

Clean painted surfaces using a dry, soft microfibre cloth to remove dust without disturbing the lacquer or glaze. Marble tops should be wiped clean with a slightly damp cloth, avoiding acidic cleaners that cause etching on stone surfaces.
