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

Nineteenth-century open bookcases are characterised by exposed tier shelving without glass doors, crafted from figured hardwoods such as walnut, mahogany, or rosewood. They frequently feature decorative elements like scalloped dust frills, brass mounts, and polished veneer fronts.

These pieces were typically constructed with solid wood carcasses overlaid with figured or burr walnut veneers. Shelves often feature matching veneered facings, leather or fabric dust trims along the front edges, and gilt brass or bronze mounts.

Authentic period examples exhibit hand-cut joinery, hand-planed backboards, and natural age-related patination across the timber surfaces. Look for hand-pierced brass fittings, genuine timber shrinkage, and historical shelf support mechanisms inside the frame.

Position the bookcase in a living area, hallway, or study as a focal point, balancing stacked books with contemporary ceramic vessels or framed artwork. The dark interior panel creates a high-contrast backdrop that highlights decorative objects and light-coloured book spines.

Dust the surfaces regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and apply a quality beeswax polish once or twice a year in the direction of the timber grain. Keep the piece away from direct sunlight and radiators to prevent the walnut veneer from fading or lifting.
