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 library bookcases from the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries were constructed without glass doors to allow immediate access to volumes in private studies, legal chambers, and academic institutions.

These pieces were predominantly constructed from solid hardwoods such as oak or mahogany, incorporating hand-fitted joinery, fluted pilasters, heavy plinth bases, and sturdy horizontal shelves designed to support substantial weight.

Authenticity is indicated by genuine age-related surface patina, period-appropriate slotted screws, traditional timber joinery along internal frame joints, and hand-cut structural elements underneath the plinth or behind the uprights.

An open bookcase can be integrated into contemporary spaces by mixing lined book volumes with structured ceramic objects, sculpture, or framed artworks to balance architectural proportions with modern decor.

Regular maintenance involves dusting with a dry microfibre cloth and applying a microcrystalline or beeswax polish annually to protect the original finish, avoiding placement near active heat sources or direct sunlight.
