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.
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.
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.

A Georgian bureau bookcase is a dual-purpose storage and writing piece originating in 18th-century Britain, featuring a slant-front desk over base drawers with an upper glazed cabinet for books.

These pieces were primarily crafted from Cuban or West Indian mahogany, featuring oak or pine as secondary drawer woods, solid brass hardware, and hand-blown glass panes.

Authentic period examples display hand-sawn timber drawer linings, hand-cut dovetail joints, cast brass handles with original oxidisation, hand-cut glass panes, and natural uneven wear on the bracket feet.

Position the cabinet as a focal point in a study or dining room, balancing its dark wood visually with light neutral paint tones, contemporary ceramics inside the glazed top, and sleek task lighting.

Keep the piece away from direct heat sources and sunlight to avoid wood shrinkage or fading, dust regularly with a clean microfibre cloth, and apply a light coat of beeswax annually.
