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

Art Deco stepped bookcases, popularised during the 1920s and 1930s, feature an asymmetrical ziggurat or terraced profile inspired by contemporary skyscraper architecture and geometric design principles.

Cabinetmakers typically used figured wood veneers such as walnut, mahogany, and macassar ebony, often applied over solid timber frames with geometric crossbanding and inlaid detail.

Look for characteristic geometric silhouettes, stepped or terraced tops, high-contrast decorative veneers, matching period handles, and traditional mid-20th-century joinery techniques.

Place the bookcase as an architectural focal point against a plain wall, styling the tiered shelves with a curated balance of books, sculptural ceramics, and period glassware to highlight its stepped form.

Dust regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and apply a natural beeswax polish along the wood grain periodically, ensuring the piece remains away from direct heat sources and direct sunlight.
