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

Sheraton style bookcases, originating in late 18th-century England, feature geometric lines, slim vertical proportions, and decorative surface veneers such as satinwood crossbanding and fan marquetry.

These pieces are typically constructed using solid mahogany framework with figured mahogany veneers, satinwood or boxwood inlays, and secondary timbers such as oak or pine for internal structures.

Authentic period examples display hand-cut dovetail joints, hand-planed timber surfaces, irregular backboards, and hand-chiselled mortise and tenon joinery beneath the polish.

A pair of slim open bookcases can flank a doorway, architectural recess, or central fireplace to establish symmetry, offering structured display space for literature and decorative ceramics.

Maintain mahogany surfaces by dusting regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and applying a thin coat of natural beeswax polish annually, avoiding direct sunlight and artificial heat sources.
