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 George III secretaire bookcase is a multi-functional piece of 18th-century English case furniture that incorporates a upper glazed cabinet for displaying books, a fall-front or slide-out secretaire drawer fitted for writing, and a lower chest of storage drawers.

These pieces were predominantly constructed using dense mahogany, often with flame veneers, hand-cut dovetail joints on drawers, oak or pine secondary woods, and astragal glazed glass panels held in place with wood moulding.

Authentic period pieces exhibit hand-planed timber surfaces, irregular hand-cut dovetail drawer joints, cast brass handles with original fixing marks, natural timber shrinkage over time, and original cylinder or crown glass panes with subtle distortions.

Position the piece as an architectural focal point in a study, dining room, or living space, pairing it alongside modern artwork, neutral wall colours, and minimal contemporary lighting to balance its dark wood presence.

Maintain the finish by dusting regularly with a microfibre cloth, applying a thin coat of natural beeswax once annually along the grain, and placing the cabinet away from direct heat sources and strong sunlight to avoid wood splitting.
