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

A George III breakfront bookcase features a central section that projects forward beyond the flanking wings, typically crafted with glazed upper doors, decorative astragal moulding, and lower cupboards or drawers.

Primary woods include solid mahogany and high-quality flame mahogany veneers, complemented by hand-blown float glass, oak or pine drawer linings, and cast brass handles.

Look for hand-dovetailed drawer joints, oak or pine secondary woods, original brass fittings, hand-cut glass panes, and appropriate wear or patination on the interior surfaces and drawer runners.

Integrate a breakfront bookcase into a traditional study or dining room as a focal point, styling the glass shelves with curated leather-bound volumes, ceramic vessels, and modern art objects to balance visual weight.

Dust regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and apply beeswax polish sparingly along the wood grain once or twice a year, keeping the piece away from direct heat sources and sunlight to protect the veneer.
