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.

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

Originating in the 18th century, English painted glazed bookcases were designed to store books and porcelain behind glass, keeping them free from dust while displaying them in reception rooms. Painted finishes were frequently applied to pine or local hardwoods to complement decorative interior schemes.

These cabinets were constructed using solid timber frameworks, such as pine or oak, fitted with hand-drawn glass panes set into timber astragal glazing bars, often finished with brass hardware.

Authentic period examples often feature hand-cut dovetail joinery, minor distortions in the older glass panes, original tongue-and-groove backboards, and authentic surface wear or layered paint history along high-touch edges.

Position the piece in a dining room, living area, or wide hallway, populating the glazed upper shelves with a combination of books, ceramic vessels, and framed artwork to contrast against modern room finishes.

Dust surfaces regularly using a dry, soft microfibre cloth without harsh chemical sprays. Clean glass panes by spraying a mild cleaner onto a cloth rather than directly onto the timber to prevent moisture damage to the painted finish.
