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 Victorian bamboo canterbury is a lightweight storage rack constructed with a natural bamboo framework and divided sections, originally popularised in the late 19th century for organizing periodicals, sheet music, and newspapers.

These pieces typically combine natural imported bamboo cane stems connected with wooden dowels or metal pins, often incorporating lacquerwork, japanned panels, embossed leatherette, or woven matting.

Authentic pieces exhibit natural variations and irregularities in the bamboo nodes, hand-applied lacquer decorative panels, minor shrinkage or age splitting near joints, and traditional joinery without modern Phillips screws.

Place the rack beside an armchair, desk, or sofa to add texture and historical contrast while serving as a functional holder for books and contemporary magazines.

Position the piece away from direct heat sources and radiators to prevent the bamboo from drying out or splitting, dust gently with a dry microfibre cloth, and avoid liquid chemical cleaners on lacquered surfaces.
