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

An antique open bookcase is a freestanding wooden shelving unit constructed without front glass or doors, designed for immediate access to books and documents. Popularised in the 19th and early 20th centuries, these pieces typically featured solid hardwood frames, fixed or adjustable shelves, and decorative gallery crests.

Solid hardwoods such as oak, mahogany, walnut, and pine were predominantly used. Traditional construction involved hand-cut dovetail joints, solid timber backboards, and carved side supports or gallery rails to provide structural stability under heavy book loads.

Authentic pieces display signs of historical craftsmanship, including irregular dovetail or tongue-and-groove joints, hand-planed backboards, and authentic surface wear around shelf edges. Look for naturally aged timber grain, historic patination, and original mounting hardware or shelf pegs.

Low open bookcases work well placed side-by-side or flanking a focal point like a fireplace alcove. Style the exposed shelves with a mix of stacked volumes, framed artwork, and ceramics to balance weight and create depth.

Dust regularly using a soft, dry microfibre cloth along the grain of the wood. Apply a high-quality beeswax polish once or twice a year to nourish the oak and protect the surface finish, avoiding silicone-based sprays or harsh chemical cleaners.
