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 Georgian library bookcase typically features a two-part construction with an upper glazed section for book storage and a solid lower cabinet or drawer base. Originating in 18th-century Britain, these pieces were crafted to house expansive private book collections in formal study rooms.

High-grade Cuban or West Indian mahogany was the primary timber used, valued for its stability, rich colour, and dense grain. Hand-cut dovetail joints, oak or pine secondary drawer linings, and blown glass panes held by delicate wooden astragal glazing bars are classic construction markers.

Authentic pieces feature signs of hand craftsmanship, such as uneven drawer dovetails, hand-sawn secondary timber on back panels, and original cast brass fittings. Look for natural glass imperfections like air bubbles, as well as genuine wear around keyholes and base mouldings.

Balance the visual weight of dark mahogany by placing the bookcase against a neutral or rich jewel-toned wall. Use the glazed upper section to display a curated mix of ceramics, art books, and decorative objects alongside traditional leather-bound volumes.

Keep the timber away from direct sunlight and central heating sources to prevent drying or cracking. Apply a high-quality beeswax polish once or twice a year, buffing along the grain, and clean glass panes carefully with a dry microfibre cloth.
