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 book trough is a specialised piece of furniture or accent accessory designed with an angled top trough to display books upright with their spines facing outwards. Popularised during the late Victorian and Edwardian eras, standing book troughs provided portable and compact book storage for private libraries, studies, and drawing rooms.

Edwardian cabinetmakers primarily utilised high-grade dense hardwoods such as mahogany, oak, and walnut. Construction featured precise joinery, including dovetail joints, shaped side supports, and decorative fretwork or carved stretchers to ensure structural stability.

Authentic Edwardian furniture features balanced proportions, rich natural wood veneers or solid hardwoods, and restrained decorative elements such as blind fretwork or subtle moulding. Stamps or brass trade labels from historic makers like Waring & Gillow further confirm authenticity, alongside natural surface patina.

A freestanding book trough functions well in an empty corner, reading nook, or beside an armchair to display curated art books and literature. Its narrow footprint adds vertical interest and warm timber tones to contemporary living spaces without overwhelming the room.

Maintain mahogany furniture by positioning it away from direct sunlight, radiators, and damp conditions to prevent timber movement. Dust regularly with a dry, lint-free cloth and apply a high-quality beeswax polish annually to preserve the timber lustre.
