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

Vellum binding involves using prepared calfskin or lambskin stretched over cardboard or paper boards, a traditional bookbinding technique widely utilised from the Middle Ages through the eighteenth century.

These volumes feature animal skin parchment or vellum over stiffened boards, often accompanied by block-printed paper covers, handmade rag paper pages, and hand-lettered ink spines.

Authentic eighteenth-century vellum bindings display natural skin grain variations, subtle warping due to environmental humidity changes, authentic period typography, and hand-inked spine lettering rather than modern foil stamping.

Position antique vellum volumes horizontally or vertically on coffee tables, sideboards, or bookshelves to introduce muted tone, organic texture, and historical context to a room.

Store vellum books in a climate-controlled setting away from direct sunlight, maintaining stable humidity levels to prevent the parchment from drying out or distortion.
