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

During the nineteenth century, wooden book presses were utilised by bookbinders, publishing workshops, and private libraries to flatten freshly bound volumes, press paper sheets, or compress administrative documents for filing.

These presses were typically constructed from dense hardwoods such as oak or mahogany to withstand mechanical pressure, featuring hand-turned wooden screw threads, mortise and tenon joinery, and solid wooden platens.

Authentic nineteenth-century examples display hand-cut screw threads, original turned handles or knobs, natural surface wear along the thread mechanism, and period-correct joinery methods rather than modern fixings.

A standing or tabletop book press functions effectively in a modern study, home office, or library setting as a functional storage cabinet, side piece, or focal object.

To preserve the timber and mechanical parts, maintain the piece in a stable environment away from direct heat sources, apply natural beeswax polish periodically, and avoid over-tightening the wooden screw mechanism.
