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

Faux book games boards are folding gaming sets designed from the eighteenth century onwards to resemble bound library volumes when closed, allowing discreet storage on bookshelves.

These pieces were typically made with a wooden core wrapped in calfskin or morocco leather, finished with gold leaf tooling and lined inside with paper or fabric.

Authentic period examples feature hand-stamped gilt decoration, natural surface patina or wear to the leather finish, and construction techniques matching historical bookbinding.

Place the item closed alongside leather-bound volumes on a study bookshelf, or display it flat on a desk or coffee table as a decorative conversational accent.

Position the item away from direct heat and sunlight to avoid leather desiccation, and treat the surface periodically with a dedicated leather conservation wax.
