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

During the 19th century, open bookcases became prominent features in home libraries and studies, designed without glass doors to provide immediate access to volumes. They showcase precise cabinet making, featuring moulded cornices, panelled timber backs, and decorative side veneers.

These pieces typically utilised solid hardwoods such as mahogany and oak, incorporating hand-cut dovetail joints, panelled backs, and adjustable shelf mechanisms such as side support tracks or pegs.

Authentic period examples demonstrate signs of hand-planing on rear panels, natural age-related patination, hand-cut joinery, and consistent wear along shelf adjustment tracks rather than uniform modern machine cuts.

A large open bookcase serves as a structural focal point in living spaces or hallways when balanced with curated ceramics, art objects, and framed prints interspersed amongst book collections.

Dust regularly with a soft dry cloth and apply a high-quality beeswax polish annually to nourish the wood surface, ensuring the piece is positioned away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent drying or timber shrinkage.
