Dealers Notes

Our stock includes early oak and walnut furniture from the 18th century, as well as more formal pieces from the Georgian period. Clocks, barometers and globes are complemented by Colonial cabinets, furniture and early arms. Their scientific instruments, which include early microscopes, telescopes and equipment such as sextants, provide a fascinating insight into the evolution of technology, whilst demonstrating fine artistry and craftsmanship. One of Hansord’s many exhibitions was entitled ‘From simplicity to complexity with a little eccentricity’ and this continues to be the guiding mantra behind their collection today.

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

Miniature bureau bookcases were crafted in the 18th and 19th centuries either as apprentice pieces to demonstrate joinery skills, travelling salesman samples, or luxury novelty items for estate desk space.

These pieces were constructed using primary woods such as Cuban or Honduran mahogany, alongside hand-blown glass panes, brass fittings, and bone or ivory escutcheons.

Authentic period examples feature hand-cut dovetail joints, age-appropriate oxidation on secondary pine or oak drawer linings, natural wood patination, and proportional construction detailing.

Position the cabinet on top of a sideboard, desk, or mantlepiece to serve as a decorative focal point and store small collectibles, letters, or trinkets.

Dust the surface regularly with a clean microfibre cloth, apply a high-grade beeswax polish annually, and keep the object away from direct heat and sunlight.
