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.

This tall Victorian bookcase dates from around 1850. Constructed from burr walnut and walnut with glass, the timber displays a warm brown colour with rich grain patterns, deep patination and a polished finish. The exterior has a moulded cornice, twin glazed doors with arched top panels enclosing five adjustable shelves, a key with a hanging tassel, turned and fluted side pilasters with carved capitals, and a moulded plinth base. Measuring 198 cm high, 94 cm wide and 39.5 cm deep, this narrow storage piece fits easily into a study, home office or traditional living room for housing books, display items or collections.

FAQs

Furniture from this period frequently incorporated figure-rich burr walnut veneers, arched glazed panel doors, and architectural columns or carved pilasters flanking the main frame.

Craftsmen built timber carcases faced with decorative burr veneers, securing glass panes within moulded wood frames using traditional putty or beadings and fitting adjustable internal wooden shelves.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-carved detailing, period lock mechanisms, natural patination across the wood grain, and minor irregularities in hand-cut glass panes.

A slim glazed bookcase provides vertical structure in a hallway or study, offering dust-free storage for books, pottery, or curated decorative objects.

Dust surfaces regularly with a dry cloth and apply beeswax periodically to nourish the veneer, keeping the piece away from direct heat sources to prevent timber movement.
