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

Regency waterfall bookcases originated in early 19th-century Britain, characterised by open shelves that gradually decrease in depth from bottom to top, creating a cascading or waterfall profile.

Cabinetmakers primarily constructed these pieces using dense flame or Cuban mahogany timber, often incorporating oak or pine as secondary back woods, alongside solid brass castors.

Authentic Regency examples feature hand-cut dovetail construction, original brass castors, turned support legs, and natural hand-rubbed French polish finishes rather than modern lacquers.

Position the bookcase in a study or living room, styling the graduated shelves with a curated mix of bound books, ceramics, and small decorative objects to complement the warm wood tones.

Maintain the finish by dusting regularly with a soft dry cloth and applying a high-quality beeswax polish once or twice a year, avoiding direct sunlight and central heating sources.
