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

A whatnot is an open-tiered piece of furniture that gained popularity during the Victorian era, designed with multiple shelves supported by turned columns to display ornaments, books, or curiosities.

Victorian whatnots were typically crafted from solid fine hardwoods and decorative veneers such as burr walnut, mahogany, and rosewood, often accompanied by brass castors and hand-carved scrollwork.

Authentic 19th-century examples feature distinct hand-carved spiral columns, organic variation in the burr veneer pattern, original brass fitments, and traditional joinery marks underneath the shelf frames.

Position the piece in a corner or alcove to hold contemporary art books, potted flora, or framed photographs, creating a contrast between traditional woodwork and modern decor.

Maintain the finish by dusting with a dry microfibre cloth and applying a high-grade beeswax polish annually, while avoiding direct heat sources to protect the delicate timber veneer from splitting.
