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

Designed for mobility during military expeditions in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, campaign reading stands featured collapsible or portable designs crafted to sit atop existing tables or desks.

These pieces were primarily constructed from dense hardwoods such as mahogany or teak to endure transit, complemented by solid brass collar mounts, hinges, and adjustment mechanisms.

Authentic period examples display hand-cut joinery, original brass hardware with authentic oxidisation, fine hand-turned legs, and slotted screws rather than modern fittings.

Place the stand open on an office desk to hold a reference volume, or position it on a console table to display an open art book or print.

Dust regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and apply beeswax polish annually along the timber grain, ensuring brass components remain free from abrasive metal polishes.
