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

An Edwardian book trough is an open-topped wooden storage stand created during the early 20th century, designed to hold frequently used volumes angled for easy selection.

These pieces were typically constructed from mahogany or rosewood, featuring boxwood or satinwood inlay, curved dividers, and brass castors for portability.

Authentic examples display delicate stringing or marquetry medallions, original period brass castors, and hand-fitted joinery typical of early 1900s craftsmanship.

Place the stand beside an armchair or sofa in a study or living area, filling the sloped trough with hardback books and using lower compartments for current magazines.

Dust the surfaces gently with a dry cloth and apply clear beeswax polish occasionally, keeping the wood away from direct heat sources to prevent moisture loss and inlay distortion.
