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 tabletop book press was historically utilized in binderies and home offices to flatten newly bound books, compress paper sheets, or press freshly written correspondence for copying during the nineteenth century.

These presses were primarily constructed from dense, durable hardwoods such as mahogany, oak, or walnut, featuring hand-turned wooden screw threads and heavy wooden platens to withstand repetitive downward force.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-cut joinery, hand-turned timber threads, uneven wear on the central screw mechanism, and authentic age-related oxidation across the mahogany timber surface.

A wooden book press serves as an intriguing architectural object on an office desk, library shelf, or console table, functioning well alongside leather-bound volumes, brass accessories, and dark timber furniture.

Dust regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and apply a quality beeswax polish periodically to maintain the timber patina; keep the wooden thread lubricated with a light wax and store away from direct heat sources.
