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 bookcases typically feature classical proportions, fine wood veneers such as mahogany, reeded pilasters, and architectural details like shaped pediments or Gothic glazed tracery inspired by early 19th-century English design.

Craftsmen primarily utilised high-quality Cuban or West Indian mahogany veneers over pine or oak carcasses, paired with glass panes, cast brass hardware, and occasionally wire lattice panels.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-dovetailed drawer construction, original brass hardware, handmade glass with natural imperfections, hand-carved reeding, and signs of hand-planing on rear panels.

Position the cabinet against a neutral focal wall, curating the glazed upper section with ceramics or books alongside contemporary minimalist decorative objects to balance traditional woodwork.

Dust regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and apply a high-grade beeswax polish once or twice a year, avoiding synthetic spray cleaners, direct sunlight, and extreme humidity fluctuations.
