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 breakfront open bookcase features a central section that projects forward beyond the flanking side sections, constructed without glazed doors for direct access to books and display objects.

These pieces typically feature figured walnut veneers laid over a solid timber frame, trimmed with cast gilt-metal or bronze mounts for decorative contrast along the pilasters and frieze.

Authentic period examples demonstrate hand-cut dovetail joints, traditional hand-rubbed finishes, solid timber shelf construction, and detailed cast metal mounts attached with period-appropriate screws.

Position the unit against a primary wall to anchor a room, using the top surface for table lamps and framed artwork, while styling the open shelving with bound volumes and decorative ceramics.

Keep the timber away from direct heat sources and sunlight, dust with a soft microfibre cloth, apply natural beeswax sparingly, and avoid chemical cleaners on the gilt-metal mounts.
