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

Revolving bookcases, developed in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, were designed to store books compactly while allowing easy access to titles from a seated position. They became ubiquitous fixtures in Victorian and Edwardian libraries, study rooms, and drawing rooms across Great Britain.

Traditional revolving bookstands typically combine dense hardwoods such as mahogany, walnut, or oak for the frame with brass or iron central spindles, galleries, and supporting tripod bases.

Authentic pieces feature smooth rotation on a central iron or steel axis, original brass fittings, hand-carved joinery, and natural wear or oxidisation on metal components. Modern reproductions often show synthetic lacquers, modern machine screws, or lightweight cast metals.

Position the stand beside an armchair in a living area or study, utilizing the rotating top to display hardback volumes while serving as an occasional side table for a reading lamp.

Dust the timber surfaces regularly with a soft microfibre cloth and apply beeswax periodically to maintain the surface finish, while occasionally lubricating the central revolving mechanism with a small amount of mineral oil.
