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

An antique book trough is a specialised piece of library furniture designed with an angled compartment to hold books upright with their spines facing outward for easy identification and access.

During the Edwardian period, book troughs were predominantly crafted from high-quality hardwoods such as solid mahogany, oak, or walnut, often featuring turned wooden supports and polished finishes.

Authentic Edwardian pieces typically showcase lighter, more slender proportions than Victorian antecedents, clean joinery, turned spindle detailing, cross-braced stretchers, and period-appropriate surface patination.

A standing book trough functions well positioned beside an armchair or sofa, using the angled lower section for hardback books or magazines while utilising the flat upper tier as a side table surface.

Keep the piece positioned away from direct sunlight and central heating sources to prevent wood movement, dusting regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and applying a high-grade beeswax paste annually.
