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

Chippendale style bookcases are recognised by their refined mahogany construction, decorative astragal glazing bars arranged in geometric patterns, and intricate fretwork friezes. They frequently feature cabriole legs terminating in hand-carved claw and ball feet.

Traditional construction relies heavily on solid mahogany and rich mahogany veneers. Doors are fitted with individual panes of crown or cylinder glass secured by timber glazing bars, complemented by brass ironmongery and internal adjustable wooden shelving.

Authentic period pieces show signs of age such as hand-cut dovetail joints, slight irregularities in hand-blown glass, and natural oxidisation on the timber underside. Original brass lock mechanisms and genuine patina on carved areas also signal age.

Place a dark mahogany bookcase against neutral or contemporary wallpapered walls to create visual contrast. Use the glazed shelves to display a curated mixture of hardback books, art glass, and ceramic objects to balance traditional timber tones.

Dust regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth and apply high-quality beeswax sparingly once or twice a year to nourish the wood. Keep the piece away from direct sunlight and radiators to prevent timber fading or veneer shrinkage.
