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 Canterbury is a low, compartmentalised piece of wooden furniture created in late 18th-century England, originally designed to hold sheet music, bound music volumes, or periodicals.

These stands are typically crafted from dense hardwoods such as Cuban or Honduras mahogany, walnut, or rosewood, featuring slatted divisions, a base drawer, turned legs, and brass castors.

Authentic period examples feature hand-cut dovetailed drawer joinery, period-correct brass castors, natural timber oxidisation, and solid wood drawer linings rather than modern plywood or machine-cut components.

While originally made for sheet music, a Canterbury functions effectively in contemporary homes as a holder for magazines, oversized art books, or vinyl records positioned beside a sofa or reading chair.

Dust the surface regularly with a soft, dry cloth and apply a thin coat of natural beeswax polish annually, ensuring the piece is placed away from direct radiators and sunlight to prevent wood shrinkage or bleaching.
