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.

These Edwardian wall shelves are constructed from painted wood in the folk art style, presenting a sage green finish decorated with hand-painted floral bouquets, scrollwork, and a scalloped pediment. The unit includes three open display shelves, two turned front retaining bars, moulded ledges, and shaped side profiles. Visible details include polychrome floral motifs on the crest and sides, red painted trim along the edges, and scrollwork detailing above the lower shelf. The shelves measure 106 cm high, 100 cm wide, and 15 cm deep, offering practical storage for plates, collectibles, or books. This piece works well positioned above a sideboard in a dining room, kitchen, or hallway within an English Country House interior.

FAQs

Painted wall shelves from the early 20th century typically feature hand-rendered floral motifs, scrollwork detailing, and shaped crests. They were commonly produced across European country regions to provide lightweight, functional wall storage for ceramics, spices, or household items.

These pieces were generally constructed from native softwoods, such as pine or fir, using simple joinery including dado joints and small nails. The surface was finished with oil- or milk-based paint, frequently featuring freehand or stencilled decorative motifs.

Authentic period examples display genuine wear on touchpoints, such as shelf edges and mounting points, alongside natural paint shrinkage or fine crazing. Examination of the timber reverse often reveals historic tool marks and undisturbed age-related discolouration.

Mount the shelving unit on a focal wall to display contemporary ceramics, books, or framed artwork. The muted green tones and decorative crest work effectively against modern neutral backdrops, adding depth and structural interest.

Dust the surface regularly using a soft, dry microfibre cloth or a soft-bristle brush around carved details. Avoid water, harsh chemical detergents, and abrasive pads, which can damage original paint layers.
