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 George III secretaire bookcase is an 18th-century piece of English furniture combining an upper glazed cabinet for books with a lower chest of drawers containing a fitted pull-out writing desk section.

These pieces were predominantly crafted from solid mahogany or mahogany veneers, featuring hand-cut dovetail drawer joints, cast brass drop handles, and individual glass panes held by carved wooden glazing bars.

Key indicators include hand-planed timber surfaces, original oak or pine drawer linings, hand-cut dovetail joints, and subtle irregularities or air bubbles in original cylinder glass panes.

Position the piece as a focal point in a home office or living room, styling the display shelves with a mix of literature and contemporary ceramics to contrast traditional craftsmanship with modern decor.

Keep the piece away from direct heat sources and moisture, dust regularly with a clean lint-free cloth, and apply a natural beeswax polish along the wood grain once or twice a year.
