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 canterbury is a low, open-topped wooden rack with vertical partitions, originally created in late 18th-century England to store sheet music, named after the Archbishop of Canterbury who commissioned the initial design.

Georgian canterburys were typically constructed from hardwoods such as mahogany or rosewood, featuring dovetailed joinery, slatted dividers, and brass socket caps with castors.

Authentic George III examples feature hand-cut dovetail joints on the lower drawer, period brass handles or pulls, natural age-related patination on the timber, and original brass castors.

A mahogany canterbury functions effectively beside a lounge chair or sofa as a magazine rack, modern publication organiser, or bedside storage unit.

Maintain the finish by dusting regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and applying high-grade beeswax twice yearly, keeping the piece away from direct heat sources and sunlight.
