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.

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

Art Deco bookcases typically feature geometric lines, streamlined silhouettes, and subtle decorative accents such as scalloped top rails or stepped aprons produced during the 1920s and 1930s.

Craftspeople predominantly used solid woods such as oak, walnut, or mahogany, often finished with dark stains, natural waxes, or french polish to highlight the grain.

Look for characteristic period structural details such as solid joinery, open-back slat construction, plinth bases, and shaped crests without overly ornate Victorian carving.

Place the unit against a neutral wall to showcase its silhouette, layering books vertically and horizontally alongside ceramic vessels, framed prints, or sculptural objects.

Dust regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth and apply a high-quality beeswax polish once or twice a year, keeping the piece away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent timber drying.
