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

Originating in late eighteenth-century England during the Georgian period, the canterbury was named after the Archbishop of Canterbury, who commissioned the initial design to store bound sheet music volumes.

Traditional late eighteenth-century canterburys were constructed from solid mahogany, featuring hand-cut dovetail joints on the lower drawers, turned mahogany slats, and original brass castors attached to tapered legs.

Authentic pieces display hand-sawn wood marks, hand-cut dovetails on the drawer, genuine age-related oxidisation in the timber, and original brass castors with period-appropriate fixing screws.

A mahogany canterbury functions effectively as a side table adjacent to an armchair or sofa, providing storage for modern magazines, books, or vinyl record collections.

Maintain the finish by applying a natural beeswax polish along the grain twice a year, keeping the wood away from direct sunlight, and maintaining a stable humidity level to prevent timber movement.
