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

Georgian library bookcases, typically crafted during the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, feature classical architectural proportions, astragal-glazed upper doors, and solid timber base cupboards designed to store large volumes.

Dense West Indian or Cuban mahogany was the preferred primary timber, prized for its strength, rich grain, and stability, often paired with oak or pine for internal drawer linings and backboards.

Authentic period pieces feature hand-cut dovetail joints, hand-blown glass panes displaying subtle distortions, hand-planed timber backboards, and cast brass hardware.

Position the bookcase as a focal architectural element, mixing period leather-bound volumes with contemporary ceramics or minimalist glass objects to balance historical proportions with modern design.

Dust regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and apply a high-quality beeswax polish once or twice a year, ensuring the piece is situated away from direct heat sources and sunlight.
