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 French bibliotheque is a grand glazed bookcase or display cabinet designed primarily during the 18th and 19th centuries to store and showcase literary collections in formal libraries or salons.

Fine hardwoods such as mahogany, walnut, and oak were predominantly used, often showcasing decorative veneers like plum pudding or flame mahogany alongside glass pane doors and brass hardware.

Authentic pieces generally exhibit hand-cut dovetail joints, original blown or floated glass panes with slight imperfections, solid timber backboards, and period-correct locks and key escutcheons.

Position the cabinet as a focal point against a neutral wall, pairing its warm timber tones with contemporary artwork, curated ceramics, or modern books to balance historical weight with contemporary aesthetics.

Keep the timber away from direct sunlight and heat sources, dust regularly with a soft dry cloth, and apply a high-quality beeswax polish sparingly once or twice a year to maintain the original finish.
