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

Small open oak bookcases from this era typically feature tiered horizontal shelves without front glass or doors, often accented by shaped or scalloped side supports and decorative top galleries. They were designed for compact spaces, studies, or bedside reading collections.

These bookcases were built using solid quartersawn or English oak, assembled with traditional joinery methods such as mortise and tenon or tongue-and-groove joints, and finished with wax or shellac polish.

Authentic pieces display natural wood grain variations, hand-carved or shaped aprons, original dark patina in recessed areas, and signs of hand-tooling or traditional joining techniques along the backboards and base.

Position the piece in a hallway, alcove, or home office to house curated books, framed artwork, or studio ceramics. The warm timber tones contrast effectively against modern neutral or bold painted backdrops.

Dust regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and apply a high-quality beeswax polish once or twice a year to maintain hydration. Avoid placement directly adjacent to radiators or under continuous direct sunlight.
