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 breakfront bookcase features a central section that projects forward beyond the flanking side cabinets, a design popularised in 18th-century England to break up visual mass and create architectural interest.

Traditional painted bookcases were typically constructed from solid hardwoods or pine, featuring hand-joined dovetailed drawers, mortise and tenon joinery, and astragal glazed door panels held by wooden glazing bars.

Authentic period pieces often exhibit hand-cut joinery, irregular glass panes, hand-planed backboards, and layered historical paint coats or signs of professional re-finishing over solid timber bases.

Position the unit against a neutral wall to highlight the exterior finish, using the upper display shelves for curating ceramics, books, and art objects while utilising the lower cupboards for concealed storage.

Dust regularly with a clean, dry microfibre cloth, avoid direct sunlight and humidity fluctuations, and refrain from using harsh abrasive chemical cleaners on original or historic painted surfaces.
