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

Sheraton style furniture, originating in late 18th-century England, is characterised by light Neoclassical proportions, geometric forms, straight vertical lines, and fine wood veneers such as mahogany, satinwood, and walnut.

Historically, breakfront bookcases were constructed from solid hardwoods like mahogany and oak, decorated with contrasting wood inlays, brass fittings, and individual mouth-blown glass panes secured by wooden astragal glazing bars.

Authentic period examples exhibit hand-cut dovetail joints, hand-sawn backboards, irregularities in old cylinder glass panes, natural timber shrinkage along joints, and patinated brass hardware.

Position the cabinet as a central architectural anchor in a formal living space or dining room, balancing its visual weight by curating books alongside ceramics and contemporary decorative objects inside the glazed section.

Dust regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and apply a quality beeswax polish twice yearly along the timber grain; avoid direct sunlight and maintain stable humidity to prevent veneer lifting or fading.
