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

A Chippendale style glazed bookcase is a traditional storage cabinet originating in 18th-century English furniture design, featuring mahogany wood, glass-paned doors with astragal glazing bars, and carved cabriole legs.

These cabinets are typically crafted from solid mahogany or mahogany veneers, featuring glass panes, carved mouldings, and solid timber shelving to support literary collections.

Key design elements include hand-carved cabriole legs with claw and ball feet, decorative carved friezes beneath the upper cornice, and geometric astragal glazing bars framing individual glass panes.

Position a slim mahogany bookcase in a study, hallway, or living room alcove, styling the glass shelves with curated hardback volumes, ceramics, or collectibles to complement both traditional and eclectic decors.

Dust regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth and clean the glass panes with a specialised glass cleaner. Protect the mahogany finish by applying high-quality beeswax twice yearly and keeping the cabinet away from direct heat sources.
