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

Library steps emerged during the eighteenth century alongside the rise of grand private libraries with tall book cases. Designed to provide safe access to elevated shelves, they evolved from utility items into finely crafted decorative furniture.

High-quality hardwoods such as mahogany, oak, and walnut formed the framework, while the tread surfaces were commonly inlaid with gilt-tooled leather. Metal accents, including brass finials and castors, were frequently added for durability and decoration.

Authentic period steps feature hand-cut joinery, genuine timber patination, and age-appropriate wear to the leather treads. Construction details such as hand-turned columns and heavy hardwood framing indicate historical authenticity.

These steps function as distinct accent pieces in home offices, reading alcoves, or living rooms alongside tall shelving. They can also serve as architectural plant stands or display platforms for decorative objects.

Keep the piece away from direct sunlight and central heating sources to avoid timber shrinkage. Clean the wooden framework with a soft cloth and apply beeswax periodically, while conditioning the leather treads with specialised leather wax.
