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 Georgian breakfront bookcase features a prominent central section that projects forward from the side wings, typically incorporating glazed upper doors and panelled lower storage.

Traditional construction utilizes dense hardwoods such as mahogany or walnut, featuring hand-cut dovetail joints, brass hardware, and delicate wooden astragal glazing bars.

Look for original hand-blown glass, authentic construction methods like hand-planed backboards, natural age-related patina, and distinct astragal glazing patterns.

Position the piece as a focal point in a dining room or study, balancing its dark wood visual weight with light wall tones and curated modern ceramics or books.

Dust regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and apply a high-quality beeswax polish once or twice a year, avoiding silicone-based sprays and direct sunlight or damp environments.
