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

Originating in the nineteenth century, a music Canterbury is a low stand with slotted divisions designed to store sheet music, named after the Archbishop of Canterbury who commissioned the initial design.

Craftspeople typically constructed these pieces using solid hardwoods such as mahogany, rosewood, or walnut, utilizing dovetail joinery, turned pedestals, and pierced fretwork dividers.

Authentic period pieces display hand-cut joinery, natural timber patination, hand-carved details such as scroll feet, and solid timber dividers rather than modern composite wood.

Positioned alongside an armchair or sofa, the piece functions as a holder for contemporary periodicals, newspapers, or books while adding historical timber detail to a room.

Apply a high-quality beeswax polish periodically along the wood grain, maintain stable indoor humidity to prevent timber shrinkage, and dust regularly with a soft, dry cloth.
