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

Regency style bookcases draw heavy inspiration from Greco-Roman classical architecture. They typically feature low-profile proportions, fluted pilasters, turned feet, and symmetrical bay configurations, designed to display literature while allowing decorative artwork or mirrors to hang above them.

Pieces in this style showcase burr walnut veneers applied over solid timber cores, highlighting intricate swirl grain patterns. Construction methods include hand-cut dovetail jointing, solid wooden shelving, carved capital details, and hand-turned support legs.

Authentic nineteenth-century examples display thicker cut veneers, hand-planed backboards, square-headed iron nails, and natural unevenness in aging or shrinkage. Revival versions from the twentieth century tend to use thinner slice veneers, modern screws, and uniform machine-sawn backboards.

Positioning a symmetrical pair on either side of a fireplace, chimney breast, or central doorway creates immediate structural balance in a room. Their flat tops provide an ideal surface for display lamps, ceramics, and framed art without blocking wall space.

To preserve burr walnut, clean surfaces regularly with a soft dry cloth and apply a high-grade beeswax polish once or twice a year in the direction of the grain. Avoid placement directly adjacent to heat sources or unshaded windows, as intense light and heat dry out thin veneers and cause fading.
