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

Late Victorian bookcases from around 1880 often feature rich burr walnut veneers, decorative marquetry inlays, and gilded brass mounts. They typically feature glazed doors to display contents while offering protection from dust.

These cabinets were constructed using solid timber frames layered with highly figured burr walnut veneers. Details often included hand-cut glass panes, gilt-bronze or brass ormolu mounts, and inlaid satinwood or boxwood motifs.

Authentic pieces feature period construction details such as hand-cut dovetail joints, original brass locks, natural variations in veneer grain, and subtle signs of age such as minor surface oxidisation on metal fittings.

A low glazed bookcase functions effectively as a focal point in a hallway, study, or living area. It can be paired with neutral wall tones to highlight the warm wood grain and topped with curated ceramic or metallic objects.

Keep the timber away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent drying or fading. Regular dusting with a soft microfiber cloth and occasional application of high-quality beeswax will preserve the natural patina.
