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

Historically designed for private and institutional libraries, spiral library steps enabled individuals to access high bookshelves while occupying minimal floor space.

Traditional library steps are constructed from hardwoods such as mahogany, oak, or walnut, frequently featuring leather-inset treads secured with brass studding.

Authentic examples often showcase turned central posts, pegged joinery, signs of natural wear to the leather treads, and traditional hand-finished timber patination.

Position library steps alongside tall bookcase units in a home office, study, or living space to add architectural height and functional character.

Maintain timber surfaces by dusting with a soft cloth and applying natural beeswax, while treating the leather treads with a specialised leather balm to prevent drying.
