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

Victorian open bookcases feature accessible unglazed shelving constructed from hardwoods such as mahogany, oak, or walnut. Circa 1880 designs frequently integrated figured veneers, solid plinth bases, and tiered shelves trimmed with decorative leather or fabric dust fringes.

These storage pieces were crafted using solid pine or oak carcases overlaid with sliced burr walnut veneers. Decorative additions often included cast brass corner mounts, carved side pilasters, and fabric or leather shelf edging.

Authentic late Victorian pieces exhibit hand-cut joinery, solid pine or oak internal drawer and back linings, and characteristic figuring in the burr veneer. Original finish patination, wear consistent with age along the base plinth, and period brass mountings further confirm authenticity.

A low open bookcase works effectively positioned beneath large wall art or framed mirrors, offering flat top surface space for table lamps or decorative objects. Arranging books both vertically and horizontally alongside ceramics creates structured visual interest.

Position burr walnut items away from direct heat sources and direct sunlight to protect the natural veneer from lifting or fading. Regular dusting with a soft microfibre cloth and periodic polishing with a natural beeswax wax maintains timber moisture and surface finish.
