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.

In 18th-century France, publishers frequently issued books in simple paper wrappers or paper-covered boards, known as cartonnage dattente. These temporary bindings allowed purchasers to read the text before having the volume custom-bound in leather by a private binder.

These volumes typically feature hand-rag paper pages stitched with linen thread, encased in paper-covered cardboard covers. Spines often include printed or hand-written paper labels denoting title and volume numbers.

Authentic period books display handmade laid paper with visible chain lines or watermarks, uneven deckle edges, original hand-sewn quires, and age-consistent wear to the delicate paper covers.

Interior designers frequently stack these volumes horizontally on coffee tables, arrange them in vignette displays on mantelpieces, or line them vertically on open shelving to introduce warm texture and historical depth to contemporary spaces.

Keep antique paper volumes away from direct sunlight, high humidity, and extreme temperature fluctuations. Store them upright or stacked flat in a dust-free environment, handling them with clean, dry hands to protect fragile paper edges.
