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

Nineteenth-century painted bookcases typically feature classical proportions with hand-applied painted finishes, often replacing the exposed dark hardwoods popular in earlier eras with softer, muted tones.

These pieces were constructed using solid timber frameworks such as pine or oak, featuring joinery techniques like dovetailing on drawers and hand-blown glass panes secured within wooden glazing bars.

Authenticity is identified through construction hallmarks such as hand-cut joints, traditional timber shrinkage patterns, period-appropriate brass hardware, and historical layers of paint exhibiting natural wear and oxidisation.

Pair this piece with neutral walls to highlight its painted finish, and use the glazed shelving to display curated collections of books and ceramics, blending period character with contemporary minimalism.

Maintain painted antique furniture by dusting regularly with a soft, dry cloth, avoiding harsh chemical cleaners, and keeping the piece away from direct sunlight and fluctuating humidity levels to protect the finish.
