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 semainier is a traditional French chest featuring seven distinct drawers, historically designed to organize clothing or linens for each day of the week. Popularised during the 18th century, these tall, narrow pieces provided substantial storage while occupying minimal floor space.

These chests are typically constructed using timber veneers such as walnut, kingwood, or tulipwood arranged in geometric parquetry patterns. They frequently feature cast gilt-bronze mounts for decorative detailing and structural protection, along with a solid marble top.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-cut dovetail drawer joints, period-correct brass or gilt-bronze fittings, and natural wear patterns on drawer runners. Inspecting the unfinished back panels and the underside of the marble slab helps verify period construction techniques.

Position the slender silhouette in an alcove, hallway, or bedroom corner to add vertical structure to the space. Balance the patterned wood veneers and gilt details by contrasting the chest against muted wall colours or simple modern lighting.

Dust the veneered surfaces regularly using a clean, soft cloth and apply a high-quality beeswax polish periodically to protect the timber. Clean the marble top using dedicated pH-neutral stone cleaners, avoiding acidic substances and excessive moisture.
