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 Georgian secretary bookcase is an eighteenth to early nineteenth-century piece of furniture combining a upper glass-fronted cabinet for books with a lower chest of drawers that includes a fall-front or drop-down writing desk.

These pieces were typically constructed from solid mahogany or mahogany veneers, often incorporating pine or oak for internal drawer linings and structural framing, along with hand-cut glass panes and brass or turned wood handles.

Authentic period examples feature hand-sawn secondary timber, hand-cut dovetail joints on the drawers, slight irregularities in hand-blown glass, historic keyhole escutcheons, and natural wear patterns on the drawer runners.

Place the unit as a focal point in a home office, library, or living area, pairing its rich wood tones with contemporary artwork, minimalist decor inside the glazed upper cabinet, or neutral wall finishes for balance.

Dust regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and apply a quality beeswax polish once or twice a year, keeping the wood away from direct sunlight and central heating sources to prevent drying and cracking.
