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

Georgian glazed bookcases typically feature a two-part design with a glass-fronted upper cabinet and solid timber lower cupboards or drawers. Prominent design features include astragal glazing bars in geometric patterns, moulded cornices, flame mahogany veneers, and bracket feet.

Primary timbers commonly included imported Cuban or West Indian mahogany, as well as walnut or oak. Glazed doors contained hand-blown cylinder glass held in place by narrow mahogany astragal bars, with interior structural framing often constructed from pine or oak.

Authentic 18th-century bookcases exhibit signs of hand-craftsmanship, such as hand-sawn secondary timber on back panels, uneven thickness in hand-blown glass panes, hand-cut dovetail joints, and historic brass hardware showing natural oxidisation.

A large mahogany bookcase serves as a focal point in contemporary spaces. Balance the heavy visual mass by styling open shelves with a mixture of bound volumes, modern ceramic sculptures, and framed artwork alongside understated lighting.

Maintain the finish by applying a natural beeswax polish once or twice a year using a soft cotton cloth. Keep the item away from direct heat sources and direct sunlight to prevent timber shrinkage, joint loosening, and wood fading.
