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.

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

An extending book slide is an adjustable desktop accessory developed in the nineteenth century designed to hold a varying number of books tightly together using a sliding base mechanism.

Victorian craftspeople typically constructed book slides using fine hardwoods such as walnut, mahogany, or rosewood, often accented with cast or pierced brass mounts, ivory, or gothic-style fretwork.

Authentic nineteenth-century examples feature dovetail or tongue-and-groove joinery along the sliding mechanism, natural age-related patina on brass mounts, and hand-fitted screws or rivets.

Place the slide on an office desk, sideboard, or mantelpiece to organise leather-bound volumes, art books, or hardbacks, blending historical texture into contemporary workspace or living areas.

Dust the item regularly with a soft dry cloth and apply a natural beeswax polish to the timber, taking care not to let polish residue accumulate on the decorative brass mounts.
