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

Open bookcases gained popularity during the 19th century as accessible storage solutions for private libraries, designed without glass doors to allow direct access to literature.

These pieces feature a solid timber framework, such as pine or oak, overlaid with thin veneers sliced from walnut tree burls to produce intricate, swirling grain patterns.

Look for hand-cut dovetail joinery, natural surface patination or subtle veneer crazing, and carved decorative details such as corbels or pilasters along the upright supports.

Place a low-profile bookcase along an entryway or living room wall, utilising the top surface for table lamps, framed artwork, and decorative ceramics alongside stacked volumes.

Position the piece away from direct sunlight and radiators to prevent wood shrinkage, and clear dust regularly before applying a beeswax polish along the direction of the grain.
