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

Originally popularised during the 18th and 19th centuries, folio stands were designed for art collectors and studios to store and display large prints, maps, architectural drawings, and unframed artwork safely.

Regency folio stands were traditionally crafted from solid timbers such as mahogany or rosewood, featuring adjustable ratchet mechanisms, slatted wooden frames, and sturdy trestle bases often fitted with brass castors.

Authentic period pieces typically showcase hand-cut joinery, original brass ratchet or hinge mechanisms, natural age patination on the timber, and wear consistent with hand adjustments.

A folio stand functions as an accent piece in living rooms, study spaces, or hallways, ideal for displaying contemporary art prints, large architectural books, or vintage maps.

Regular dusting with a soft microfibre cloth and periodic application of beeswax polish helps preserve the original timber finish, while mechanical parts should be kept free of moisture to avoid stiffness.
