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

The Arts and Crafts movement emphasized traditional craftsmanship, simple forms, and honest construction without excessive ornamentation. Furniture from this period typically features solid timbers, visible joinery, and organic curves influenced by natural forms.

These pieces were constructed using high-quality hardwoods such as oak or mahogany, paired with cast brass electrical fittings. The lamps frequently featured cased glass shades, often in emerald green or opal white, designed to diffuse light downward over reading surfaces.

Authentic period examples exhibit hand-finished timber surfaces, original brass wiring conduit, and period-appropriate wear along edges and footrests. Examine the underneath of the structure for traditional mortise and tenon joinery rather than modern synthetic fasteners.

A standing lectern functions effectively in an entryway as a guestbook station or menu stand. It can also serve as an alternative standing reading desk in a study or as a distinctive architectural focal point in an open-plan room.

Clean the timber surface regularly using a soft cloth and apply clear beeswax polish periodically along the wood grain. Glass shades should be wiped with a microfibre cloth, and electrical wiring should be tested by a qualified electrician prior to use.
