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

These units were designed for sorting incoming and outgoing mail, telegrams, and administrative papers in municipal post offices or commercial premises during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

Most sorters were constructed from durable local softwoods or hardwoods, featuring simple joinery, thin vertical partition boards, horizontal open shelving, and small drawers fitted with simple turned timber or metal knobs.

Authentic examples show signs of functional wear, such as ink staining, smooth wear around the drawer pulls, patinated timber surfaces, and hand-cut or simple machine-cut joinery consistent with utility furniture.

Position the shelf unit atop a desk, console table, or sideboard to store stationery, books, and small decorative objects, integrating historic utility into a contemporary office or living area.

Dust regularly using a soft microfibre cloth and apply a clear beeswax polish periodically to maintain the timber patination and prevent the wood from drying out.
