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

Robert Strahan and Company was a prominent nineteenth-century Dublin cabinet-making firm known for producing Victorian furniture featuring fine mahogany construction, classical proportions, and detailed carved uprights.

Cabinetmakers typically utilised solid and veneered mahogany, brass grilles or wire mesh inserts, pleated fabric backing, and hand-carved scrollwork supports.

Authentic pieces often display specific maker stamps such as Strahan Dublin, along with hand-dovetailed drawer joints, original brass fittings, and dark mahogany patination.

Placing a pair of large breakfront bookcases along a focal wall balances symmetry in a home office or dining room, contrasting deep timber tones against modern neutral wall paint.

Wax the timber surfaces periodically with beeswax polish using a soft microfibre cloth, avoid direct sunlight, and gently vacuum fabric inserts on a low-suction setting with a soft brush attachment.
