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.
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.
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.

Originating in the nineteenth century, a Canterbury stool is a low piece of furniture designed to store sheet music or small items within a lower cabinet or partitioned section beneath a padded seat.

These pieces were typically crafted from hardwoods such as walnut, mahogany, or rosewood, often paired with leather or textile upholstery and brass castors for mobility.

Authentic period examples feature hand-cut joinery, intricate fretwork or carved detailing such as barley twist columns, period brass hardware, and natural timber patination from age.

A Canterbury stool functions effectively as an end-of-sofa seat, a compact side table, or a footstool in a living area, home library, or music room.

Keep the timber clean using a soft cloth and occasional beeswax polish, condition the leather surface periodically, and keep the piece away from direct heat sources to prevent cracking.
