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

A Canterbury is a low, compartmentalised piece of wooden furniture originally designed in late 18th-century England to store sheet music, bound music volumes, or newspapers.

Traditional Canterburys feature fine hardwoods such as walnut, mahogany, or rosewood, constructed using hand-turned spindles, dovetail drawer joinery, burr veneers, and brass castors.

Authentic 19th-century examples typically display hand-carved turned details, hand-cut dovetails within the base drawer, natural timber patina, and original brass castors showing historic wear.

In modern interiors, a Canterbury functions effectively as a magazine holder beside a reading chair, a vinyl record rack near an audio system, or an occasional side table.

Preserve the finish by dusting regularly with a dry, lint-free cloth and applying a clear beeswax polish periodically, while placing the piece away from direct sunlight and heat source radiators.
