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

Open oak bookcases from the early 20th century typically feature compact proportions, straight-sided frames, and exposed open shelving without glass doors. Influenced by the Arts and Crafts and Edwardian eras, they emphasise functional joinery and space-saving utility.

These pieces are predominantly constructed from solid English or European oak, utilizing traditional mortise and tenon joinery alongside fixed or pegged internal shelves to ensure structural integrity.

Authentic pieces display natural age-related patination, subtle shrinkage marks in the timber grain, authentic hand-finished edges, and period-correct construction details such as square-cut backboards and hand-cut nails or screws.

A small oak bookcase can be placed in narrow hallways, alcoves, or landing spaces. Modern interior styling involves balancing rows of hardback books with small ceramic vessels or framed artwork to complement contemporary decor.

Maintain the timber by dusting regularly with a soft, dry cloth and applying a high-quality clear beeswax polish once or twice a year following the natural grain. Keep the item clear of direct heat sources and damp areas to prevent movement in the wood.
