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.

This Edwardian revolving bookcase comes in rich brown mahogany with contrasting satinwood marquetry inlay on the square top, featuring vertical slatted sides, metal castors on a swivel cruciform base, and books in red and green bindings loaded across both tiers. The two-tier design provides generous storage space while the smooth-turning base allows easy access to volumes from every angle. It stands 93.5 cm high, 52 cm wide, and 52 cm deep, presenting a compact footprint suited for placement beside a sofa or chair in a study or gentleman's library. The timber displays warm natural grain variation across the surfaces, and an open book rests on the flat top panel.

FAQs

Designed predominantly during the late Victorian and Edwardian eras, a revolving bookcase is a compact, multi-tiered storage unit mounted on a central swivel mechanism, allowing readers to access books from a fixed seated position.

These pieces were typically constructed from solid hardwoods such as mahogany, oak, or walnut, featuring vertical slatted side guards, decorative marquetry inlays, and an internal cast-iron swivel mechanism set on castors.

Authentic period examples feature cast-iron central rotating mechanisms, original brass castors, hand-cut joinery, and period-accurate wood veneers or stringing inlays rather than modern steel ball-bearing swivel bases.

Functioning as both a side table and book storage, these units are placed alongside reading armchairs or desks, with the top surface accommodating a desk lamp or decorative vessel while books line the revolving tiers.

Dust the timber surfaces regularly with a dry, soft cloth, nourish the wood using period-appropriate beeswax, and periodically inspect the swivel mechanism to ensure smooth movement without overloading the shelves.
