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

George III bookcases typically feature balanced proportions, fine mahogany timber, astragal-glazed upper doors for protecting books, and solid panelled lower cupboards.

Craftsmen primarily utilised solid and veneered mahogany, oak or pine secondary wood for internal frames, hand-blown glass panes, and cast brass fittings.

Authentic period pieces exhibit hand-cut dovetail joints, slight imperfections in the original glass panes, hand-planed timber backboards, and natural age wear around lock plates.

Position the cabinet in a study, dining room, or drawing room to display books or curated ceramics, pairing rich timber tones with neutral wall palettes for visual balance.

Dust surfaces regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and apply a natural beeswax polish once or twice yearly, keeping the piece away from direct sunlight and heat sources.
