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

Nineteenth-century painted glazed bookcases typically feature a two-part construction with upper glass doors for displaying literature or decorative items and a lower timber cupboard for concealed storage. Often crafted from pine or hardwood, these pieces were frequently painted to protect the timber or fit lighter interior colour palettes.

These cabinets were traditionally constructed using solid timber joinery, featuring hand-cut dovetail joints, mortise and tenon framing, and field-panelled doors. The upper sections utilised hand-blown or cylinder glass panes secured within timber frames, coated with layered milk-based or oil paints.

Authentic pieces exhibit signs of age, including subtle irregularities in the glass, period iron or brass hardware, and hand-planed backboards. Examining the paint layers often reveals historical re-painting, natural wear around handles and timber joints, and original wood visible beneath.

Position the cabinet against a main wall to anchor a dining room, kitchen, or living area. Balance the interior shelves with a curated mix of bound books, ceramics, and glassware, utilizing the contrasting interior paint to draw focus to displayed objects.

Clean the painted exterior gently using a dry microfibre cloth, avoiding harsh chemical sprays or abrasive liquids that could strip historic paint layers. Apply a light clear paste wax periodically to protect the painted finish and keep glazed glass clean with specialised, non-ammonia glass cleaner applied to a cloth.
