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

Originally designed in the late eighteenth century to store sheet music, the Canterbury evolved during the Victorian era into a multi-tiered combination piece known as a Canterbury whatnot, incorporating open shelving and dividers for books or periodicals alongside traditional music storage.

These pieces typically feature burr walnut veneers over solid hardwood foundations, embellished with floral marquetry inlay, hand-turned spindles, and brass decorative hardware such as gallery rails and castors.

Authentic nineteenth-century examples feature period construction techniques such as hand-cut dovetail joints on drawers, original brass castors with steel screws, natural wood movement, and genuine burr walnut veneer showing appropriate aging and patina.

An antique Canterbury functions effectively as an occasional side table beside an armchair, offering practical storage for modern magazines, art books, or vinyl records while providing a surface for a small reading lamp.

Keep the timber away from direct heat sources and strong sunlight to prevent veneer lifting or fading, clean regularly with a dry microfibre cloth, and apply a high-quality beeswax polish annually to nourish the wood.
