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 bibliotheque basse is a French term for a low open bookcase or side cabinet, historically designed to sit below eye level, often featuring a marble top and decorative wood veneers.

These pieces traditionally feature exotic wood veneers such as kingwood or rosewood arranged in parquetry patterns, accented with cast gilt-bronze (ormolu) mounts and topped with polished marble.

Authentic pieces generally exhibit sinuous cabriole legs, asymmetrical Rococo-style gilt-bronze mounts, detailed wood veneer parquetry, and hand-cut joinery along the secondary timber structures.

Place the unit along a feature wall to act as low storage, using the upper marble surface to display ceramics, framed art, or lamps alongside contemporary books.

Dust the surfaces regularly with a dry microfibre cloth, avoid placing the piece in direct sunlight or near damp walls, and avoid abrasive chemicals on the gilded mounts.
