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

A Canterbury is a low, mobile wooden partition stand created in the late 18th century, originally designed to store sheet music and bound volumes, reportedly named after the Archbishop of Canterbury who commissioned the initial design.

Georgian Canterburys were predominantly crafted from solid mahogany or rosewood, often featuring ebony or satinwood stringing, slatted dividers, dovetail joints on drawers, and brass castors.

Authentic Georgian examples feature hand-cut dovetail construction, original brass castors fitted to turned legs, natural timber oxidisation on unfinished undersides, and smooth hand-carved carrying handles.

Position a Canterbury beside a lounge armchair, sofa, or desk to organise magazines, oversized art books, or vinyl records while adding a historical accent to the space.

Dust the wood regularly with a dry cotton cloth, apply beeswax sparingly along the timber grain once or twice annually, and position the piece away from direct sunlight and radiators to prevent wood shrinkage.
