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

Victorian library furniture produced by makers such as Gillows of Lancaster and London is recognised for solid hardwood construction, precision joinery, and functional proportion. Design elements frequently incorporate Gothic Revival or Aesthetic Movement motifs, including carved panels, turned spindles, and upper galleries.

Nineteenth-century open bookcases were primarily constructed from high-grade hardwoods such as English oak, mahogany, and walnut. Secondary woods like pine or mahogany were utilised for drawer linings, while cast brass fittings were commonly employed for handles and hinges.

Authentic Gillows pieces frequently feature a stamped makers mark, such as GILLOWS or GILLOW & CO, impressed into the top edge of drawer fronts or back panels. Additional indicators include hand-dovetailed drawer joints, heavy timber construction, and precise architectural mouldings.

An open oak bookcase functions effectively as a focal point in a modern library, study, or expansive hallway. Pairing dark timber with neutral wall palettes and contemporary artwork balances the visual weight of the historical craftsmanship.

Maintain dark oak furniture by dusting regularly with a dry, soft microfibre cloth and applying a high-grade beeswax polish once or twice annually. Keep the timber away from direct heat sources and direct sunlight to prevent drying, cracking, and colour fading.
