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

Georgian style bookcases are characterised by classical symmetry, balanced proportions, rich mahogany timber, and restrained details such as shaped gallery backs and panelled cupboard bases.

Primary construction utilised solid mahogany and dense mahogany veneers, often combined with secondary softwoods for interior drawer linings or backboards, complemented by brass fittings.

Authentic pieces feature hand-cut dovetail joinery, hand-planed drawer bases or back panels, authentic natural surface patination, and period-correct hardware such as cast brass handles or escutcheons.

Position the piece against a light, neutral backdrop to highlight the deep mahogany timber, combining bound volumes, modern ceramic vessels, and framed prints across the open tiers.

Dust surfaces regularly with a soft, dry cloth and apply a high-quality beeswax polish sparingly along the timber grain twice yearly to protect the finish and preserve moisture.
