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

Vellum bindings are crafted from prepared animal skin, historically selected for structural durability, smooth surface texture, and off-white colour tones.

These volumes consist of paper text blocks bound in calf or sheepskin parchment, frequently accented with contrasting leather spine labels and gilded lettering.

Authentic vellum exhibits subtle skin grain variation, slight surface distortion from humidity exposure, and faint translucency distinct from paper or synthetic alternatives.

Grouping vellum volumes on a console, desk, or open shelving introduces neutral tonal contrast and linear structure to contemporary interior schemes.

Position vellum away from direct sunlight and fluctuating relative humidity to avoid warping, and clean surfaces using a dry microfibre cloth without liquid products.
