The Hille furniture company was started in the East End of London in 1906 by Salamon Hille, a Russian emigrant, to renovate and reproduce eighteenth century furniture. The focus of the business was very much quality rather than large volumes, employing skilled craftsmen and gaining customers such as Hamptons, a well known furniture store, amongst others. By the 1930’s the company had established an international reputation supplying products all over the world. Salamon's daughter, Ray, subsequently joined and worked with the company to produce furniture to original designs. In 1932, Salamon retired and Ray took over the reigns of the business with Hille becoming a Limited company that year under her leadership.

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

Chippendale style bookcases originate from 18th-century English designs popularised by Thomas Chippendale, featuring classical proportions, astragal glazed doors, carved detailing, and dark mahogany timber.

These pieces are constructed from solid mahogany and figured flame mahogany veneers, incorporating hand-fitted glass panes, brass keyhole escutcheons, and traditional joinery techniques.

Authentic revival pieces from the late 19th and early 20th centuries display hand-carved decorative motifs, original astragal glazing moulding, precise timber cuts, and makers stamps on the interior frame.

Position the bookcase against a neutral painted wall to contrast the dark mahogany tones, and mix bound volumes with modern ceramics, stone objects, and framed artwork on the shelves.

Dust wood surfaces regularly with a soft cloth and apply beeswax polish periodically, while cleaning glass panels with a mild glass cleaner applied directly to a cloth rather than the timber frame.
