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

A French marquetry chest of drawers, often designed as a semainier or tallboy, features decorative wood inlays forming floral, classical, or geometric motifs across its drawer fronts and side panels.

These chests are typically built with mahogany or fruitwood veneers laid over a solid timber frame, utilizing hand-cut dovetail joints, cast metal escutcheons, and intricate floral inlays.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-cut marquetry patterns with slight natural variations, original lock mechanisms, hand-planed backboards, and faint shrinkage lines along the veneer edges.

Place the piece as a focal point against a neutral backdrop in a bedroom, dressing room, or hallway, balancing the ornate woodwork with understated lighting and contemporary artwork.

Maintain the finish by dusting with a dry, lint-free cloth, avoiding direct sunlight or radiator heat to prevent veneer movement, and applying clear beeswax sparingly to preserve the wood grain.
