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 19th century, open bookcases were designed for private libraries and studies, providing direct access to volumes without glass doors. They frequently incorporated upper frieze drawers for storing smaller manuscripts, keys, or writing accessories.

These pieces were typically constructed from solid mahogany or high-grade mahogany veneers over secondary pine or oak frames. Structural elements often included hand-cut dovetail drawer joints, tongue-and-groove backboard panels, and turned timber knobs.

Authentic Victorian examples exhibit hand-planed secondary timbers, original brass lock mechanisms within the drawers, and aged wear along the shelf edges. The overall finish typically presents a deep patina acquired from decades of wax application and light exposure.

Position the unit against a neutral wall to emphasize the deep reddish-brown tones of the wood. Group volumes both vertically and horizontally alongside decorative ceramics or framed prints to balance visual weight across the tiers.

Dust surfaces regularly using a clean, lint-free microfibre cloth. Apply a specialized beeswax polish once or twice per year following the direction of the wood grain, keeping the piece away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent shrinkage.
