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.

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

Furniture from the Charles II period, spanning 1660 to 1685, reflects the Restoration style following the English Civil War. Pieces from this era often feature elaborate geometric mouldings, floral or parquetry wood inlays, brass drop handles, and decorative panel construction.

Chests from this period were primarily framed in solid carcase oak, often utilising contrasting secondary woods such as walnut, fruitwood, or cedar for decorative veneer and marquetry inlays. Cast brass or iron was used for keyhole escutcheons and teardrop handles.

Authentic pieces typically demonstrate two-part carcase construction joined by wooden dowels or runners, side-hung drawer grooves rather than bottom runners, hand-sawn timber marks, and original wrought iron or cast brass fittings showing age-related patination.

Incorporate the chest as a focal point against modern plaster walls, pairing the deep wood tones with minimalist ceramics, modern task lighting, or neutral linen textiles to balance historical depth with modern functional design.

Preserve the finish by dusting with a dry microfibre cloth and applying a high-grade beeswax polish sparingly once or twice a year. Keep the item away from direct heat sources and high humidity fluctuations to prevent wood movement and veneer lifting.
