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.

A sectional bookcase is a modular piece of storage furniture constructed from individual stackable shelf units. Popularised by manufacturers such as Globe Wernicke and Harris Lebus in the late Victorian and Edwardian periods, each tier typically features a retractable glazed door to protect books from dust.

These bookcases were predominantly constructed using solid oak, mahogany, or walnut, paired with glass door panels. Internal scissor mechanisms or side metal straps allowed smooth movement of the lift-and-slide doors, complemented by brass knobs or handles.

Authentic Lebus pieces often feature manufacturer stamps, metal badges, or paper labels on the interior back panels or tier rims. Distinctive details include specific side locking mechanisms, leaded upper glass tier configurations, and characteristic moulding along the gallery top.

Position the piece in a study, home office, or hallway to display structured book collections, ceramic items, or framed artwork. The modular format allows for clean visual organisation while offering dust-free storage behind glazed fronts.

Maintain the finish by dusting with a soft cloth and applying a clear beeswax polish periodically along the wood grain. Keep glass panes clear using a mild glass cleaner applied directly to a cloth rather than sprayed onto the timber.
