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

A George III secretaire bookcase is an 18th-century piece of dual-purpose furniture featuring an upper glazed display cabinet for books and a lower chest incorporating a fall-front drawer revealing a fitted writing desk and storage compartments.

These pieces were predominantly crafted from solid and veneered flame mahogany, featuring oak or pine drawer linings, cast brass hardware, and individual glass panes secured within timber astragal glazing bars.

Authentic period pieces exhibit hand-cut dovetail joints, oak or pine secondary woods, hand-drawn glass with subtle surface distortion, original brass escutcheons, and historic hand-planing marks on the back panels.

Position the tall cabinet as a central architectural focal point against a neutral background, styling the shelves with leather-bound books or ceramics to balance its classic proportions.

Keep the piece away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent timber shrinkage and veneer lifting, dust regularly with a microfibre cloth, and apply a clean beeswax polish annually.
