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

During the nineteenth century, open bookcases became popular additions to private libraries and studies, featuring accessible shelving without glass doors. English cabinetmakers frequently incorporated continental style influences, combining figured walnut veneers with ornamental gilt bronze mounts.

English cabinetmakers typically utilised solid hardwoods such as oak or mahogany for internal structure, finished with decorative surface veneers including burr or figured walnut. Details often featured cast brass or ormolu mounts along with hand-carved mouldings.

Authentic nineteenth-century pieces exhibit hand-cut joinery, original dovetail timber construction, and natural oxidation on unexposed surfaces. Variations in the hand-cut veneer thickness and aged patina on metal fittings further indicate period authenticity.

An open low bookcase serves effectively along corridors, living room alcoves, or beneath large wall art to establish architectural structure. The rich timber tones suit neutral plaster walls or dark paint palettes while offering surfaces for literature and decorative objects.

Dust timber surfaces regularly using a dry microfibre cloth and apply a beeswax polish annually in the direction of the grain. Metal mounts should be kept free from moisture and chemical cleaners to preserve original gilded surfaces.
