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.

Regency bookcases, originating in the early 19th century, are characterised by the use of rich exotic timbers such as rosewood, classical proportions, brass gallery rails, and integrated mirror backs influenced by Greco-Roman architecture.

Cabinetmakers applied figured rosewood veneers over solid oak or pine carcasses, utilizing hand-cut dovetail joints, turned column supports, cast brass galleries, and mercury-gilded mirror plates.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-sawn secondary timber on the back and interior, original mercury glass or early silvered mirrors, hand-chased brass gallery details, and natural surface patination around handles and edges.

Placing the pair symmetrically on either side of a fireplace or alcove adds architectural balance, while styling the open shelving with leather-bound books and understated modern ceramics bridges historic craft with contemporary design.

Keep the timber away from direct heat sources to prevent veneer lifting, nourish the wood periodically with high-grade beeswax, and clean brass galleries using a dry microfibre cloth without liquid chemical cleaners.
