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

Mid-Victorian bookcases typically feature clean architectural proportions, arched glazed doors, and integrated chest bases constructed from solid mahogany and mahogany veneers.

These pieces were crafted using mahogany timber, featuring hand-cut dovetail drawer joinery, hand-blown float glass panels, and cast brass drop handles.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-planed secondary timbers, hand-dovetailed drawer linings, period brass locks, and slight irregularities in the original hand-blown glass panes.

Position the piece against neutral walls and style the glass shelves with a mixture of books, contemporary ceramics, and framed artwork to modernise the overall aesthetic.

Position the item away from direct heat sources and radiators, dust regularly with a clean microfibre cloth, and apply beeswax polish periodically to preserve the finish.
