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

Traditional open bookcases typically feature utilitarian construction with exposed shelving designed for accessibility, often utilising durable hardwoods like English oak crafted with simple joinery.

These items are predominantly constructed from solid oak using traditional woodworking joints such as dowels, mortise and tenon, and dovetailing, often finished with a wax or polish to protect the timber.

Authentic period pieces can be identified by hand-tooled joinery marks, natural timber shrinkage, oxidisation consistent with age, and hand-cut fixings rather than modern machine screws.

Pairing a compact wooden bookcase with contemporary neutral walls and minimalist decor creates a balanced contrast, allowing the natural grain and warmth of the timber to anchor the room.

Preserve antique oak by keeping it away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent timber splitting, applying a microcrystalline wax periodically to nourish the wood.
