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.

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 breakfront bookcase is distinguished by a central section that projects forward beyond the flanking side sections. This architectural furniture form originated in the 18th century to create visual depth and maximize storage capacity along prominent walls.

Cabinetmakers primarily utilized dense hardwoods such as walnut, mahogany, and oak for structural elements and veneers. Handles and lock escutcheons were cast in brass, while interior shelves often used solid pine or oak substrate.

Authentic pieces by Maple & Co typically feature a stamped makers mark or metal trade plate, often located on drawer linings or interior cabinet doors. High-grade drawer dovetailing, precise joinery, and heavy brass fittings are standard hallmarks of their output.

A low-profile breakfront bookcase functions well along long dining room or hallway walls, providing surface space for artwork or lamps above. The open side shelving allows for decorative object display while central doors conceal modern electronics or tableware.

Dust regularly with a soft, dry microfibre cloth along the grain. Apply a thin coat of natural beeswax paste once or twice a year to protect the timber patination, avoiding silicone-based polishes and direct exposure to direct heat sources.
