Dealers Notes

When buying it is important appreciate antiques have long histories of daily use and as such, over time they gain minor scratches, marks, knocks, shrinkage splits, signs of old woodworm, lifts and losses to veneer, which combine with care and years of polishing to create an individual character and patina. We describe the main flaws and those that fall outside of this bracket but cannot describe each marks separately and therefore suggest you do take the time to request extra photos. We do offer a 14 day money back guarantee if you are unhappy with your purchase but cannot refund the return shipping cost. If you are not sure please do not buy without clarifying or take the view that the only way to have it as near to new as possible is to have it fully and comprehensively restored.

For delivery we use a small carrier experience in carrying antique furniture. Delivery is usually within 31 days and the carrier will make arrangements with you directly. We can provide contact details of other carriers if required.

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

An inverted breakfront bookcase features a central section that steps back behind the two outer wings, creating a recessed middle profile. During the Regency era, this architectural layout was paired with dark timbers like rosewood, brass inlay, and intricate fretwork cresting.

High-grade hardwoods such as rosewood, mahogany, and walnut were primarily used, often featuring veneers laid over oak or pine carcass construction. Shelving often incorporated adjustable timber supports or brass ratchets.

Authentic Regency rosewood furniture displays distinct dark graining, hand-carved details, and evidence of hand-planed joinery. Look for age-appropriate wear to base plinths and traditional dovetail joinery within the internal framework.

Position the piece as a central focal point along a primary wall in a study, drawing room, or hallway. Mix leather-bound volumes with modern ceramic vessels or sculptural objects on the open shelves to balance historical and contemporary elements.

Dust regularly using a dry, lint-free microfibre cloth and apply a high-grade beeswax polish annually along the direction of the wood grain. Keep the item away from direct heat sources and direct sunlight to prevent timber movement and veneer fading.
