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.

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

Originating in North-West England during the 18th century, Lancashire dresser bases were created as functional storage furniture for regional country homes, characteristically combining drawer banks with central cupboard doors.

These pieces were typically constructed from solid native oak, using traditional hand-cut dovetail joints, pegged mortise and tenon joinery, and field-panelled doors alongside cast brass drop handles.

Authentic pieces exhibit irregular hand-planed surfaces, hand-cut drawer construction, uneven oak grain wear, original pegging, and genuine oxidisation around brass fittings.

A dresser base functions well in contemporary settings as a dining room server, hallway console, or living room media unit, bridging historic character with modern storage utility.

Maintain the surface by applying high-quality natural beeswax periodically, keeping the timber away from direct heat sources and direct sunlight to prevent drying and movement.
