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

Designed during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, these stands provided musicians and speakers with an adjustable platform for sheet music or manuscripts, allowing height and angle customisation for seated or standing performance.

Traditional lecterns were typically constructed from dense hardwoods such as walnut, mahogany, or oak, featuring hand-turned central columns, tripod or quadrupod bases, and brass mechanisms or wooden ratchets to secure the angle of the rest.

Authentic period pieces feature natural signs of age, including historic wear around the adjustment mechanism, original brass hardware with mild oxidisation, hand-turned timber components, and hand-cut notches or brass pins along the central stem.

An antique lectern functions as an accent piece in a study, library, or living space, ideal for displaying open art books, historical manuscripts, or large reference volumes.

Keep the timber away from direct sunlight and artificial heat sources to avoid drying and cracking, dusting regularly with a soft lint-free cloth and applying natural beeswax polish occasionally to preserve the original finish.
