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 waterfall bookcase is an open shelving unit featuring tiered shelves that gradually decrease in depth from the bottom to the top, set within stepped or scrolled side panels.

During the 18th and 19th centuries, cabinetmakers predominantly constructed waterfall bookcases using solid woods such as mahogany, rosewood, oak, and walnut, often finished with beeswax or french polish.

Authentic 19th-century pieces typically feature hand-cut joinery, original wood shrinkage, hand-turned front legs, natural oxidisation on un-finished reverse surfaces, and age-appropriate wear across shelf edges.

A waterfall bookcase can be integrated into contemporary settings by arranging books both vertically and horizontally alongside modern ceramics, framed artwork, and decorative brass objects.

Maintain the finish by dusting with a soft, lint-free cloth, applying a high-grade beeswax paste once or twice a year, and keeping the item away from direct heat sources or sunlight.
