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

19th-century open bookcases are characterised by exposed fixed or adjustable shelving, classical proportions, and moulded architectural cornices. Constructed without glass doors, these pieces provided accessible storage in libraries, studies, and drawing rooms.

High-grade dense hardwoods such as mahogany, oak, and walnut were predominantly utilised. Key construction details included hand-cut dovetail joints, solid timber backboards, and hand-moulded top cornices.

Authentic pieces feature signs of hand-planed timber surfaces, original shelf support mechanisms such as saw-tooth cleats or wooden pegs, and natural patination or oxidation on unpolished backboards and undersides.

Position the tall cabinet as a vertical focal point against a neutral backdrop, combining bound hardbacks with contemporary ceramic art or brass objects. Leaving open space between items maintains an uncluttered visual balance.

Position the timber away from direct heat sources and direct sunlight to prevent warping or bleaching. Apply a clear beeswax polish sparingly once or twice per year, buffing along the grain with a soft cotton cloth.
