Dealers Notes

Our stock includes early oak and walnut furniture from the 18th century, as well as more formal pieces from the Georgian period. Clocks, barometers and globes are complemented by Colonial cabinets, furniture and early arms. Their scientific instruments, which include early microscopes, telescopes and equipment such as sextants, provide a fascinating insight into the evolution of technology, whilst demonstrating fine artistry and craftsmanship. One of Hansord’s many exhibitions was entitled ‘From simplicity to complexity with a little eccentricity’ and this continues to be the guiding mantra behind their collection today.

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

Luggage racks were originally introduced in country houses and hotels during the nineteenth century to elevate heavy trunks and suitcases, protecting bedroom floors and allowing guests easy access to packed belongings.

These pieces were typically crafted from sturdy hardwoods such as oak, mahogany, or dense yew wood, featuring slatted top surfaces to minimize weight and allow airflow, supported by mortise-and-tenon joinery.

Authentic period examples display natural age patination, hand-cut joinery, square-headed or period-appropriate fasteners, and minor irregular wear on the legs and lower edges consistent with functional use.

In modern living spaces, these functional low stands serve as alternative coffee tables, low plant stands, display platforms for books, or seating accents positioned at the foot of a bed.

Yew wood should be dusted regularly with a soft lint-free cloth and polished periodically with beeswax paste, keeping the piece away from direct heat sources and sunlight to preserve the natural grain.
