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 19th-century French glazed bookcase, or bibliotheque, is characterized by refined mahogany veneers, glass-fronted double doors, decorative brass or ormolu mounts, and often a marble top surface.

Traditional construction relies on solid hardwoods such as oak or pine framework, veneered with rich mahogany, incorporating gilt-brass mounts, glass panel doors, and fitted marble tops.

Authentic pieces feature hand-cut dovetail joints, original lock plates with key mechanisms, natural age patina on brass elements, and precise fluted or carved column details along the pilasters.

Position the cabinet against neutral walls to contrast the rich mahogany tones, using the glass shelves to showcase curated ceramics, framed art, or leather-bound volumes.

Dust the wood regularly with a soft microfibre cloth and apply beeswax periodically along the grain. Clean brass fittings gently without harsh chemical polishers to protect the original aged patina.
