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

First popularised in the late Victorian and Edwardian eras, revolving bookcases with integrated lecterns were designed for private libraries and studies to permit easy multi-sided access to reference volumes while providing an inclined surface for reading.

These pieces were crafted from solid hardwoods such as oak or mahogany, featuring vertical slat side supports, open shelf tiers, and an internal cast iron rotating mechanism mounted atop a sturdy wooden base.

Authentic period examples feature cast iron central turning mechanisms beneath the base, traditional joinery such as mortise-and-tenon joints, and smooth natural patination on the timber surfaces and slatted sides.

Place the piece in an office alcove, reading nook, or study alongside a leather armchair, utilising the slatted lower shelves for reference books and the angled top to display an open art volume or tablet.

Maintain the finish by dusting regularly with a microfibre cloth and applying beeswax along the grain, while keeping the central iron rotating mechanism free from dust and lightly lubricated.
