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

In 19th-century Eastern households and merchant spaces, tabletop chests were utilized for storing compact everyday items, personal effects, or calligraphy supplies. Their portable design allowed them to rest on counters, low tables, or desks for easy access.

These chests were predominantly crafted from regional hardwoods such as northern elm (yumu) or cedar. Hardware was typically forged from iron or brass, forming functional ring pulls, corner braces, and simple latch mechanisms.

Authentic pieces display traditional mortise and tenon joinery without modern screws or nails. Natural oxidation on the iron fittings, hand-carved drawer runners, and deep grain contrast characteristic of aged elm wood are key indicators.

Position the chest on a hallway console, sideboard top, or office desk to store stationery, keys, or jewellery. Its distinctive architectural form creates visual contrast when paired with contemporary art or muted neutral backdrops.

Dust the wood regularly with a dry, lint-free cloth, avoiding liquid chemicals or harsh detergents. To nourish the timber and protect the patina, apply a clear beeswax polish sparingly along the direction of the grain.
