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

Block front chests feature a shaped three-panel facade where the outer sections project forward while the central section is recessed, or vice versa. Originating in 18th-century cabinetmaking, this architectural style creates distinct light and shadow effects across the timber grain.

These pieces typically utilise figured walnut veneers laid over a solid hardwood framework, often featuring oak or pine drawer linings. Quality examples incorporate hand-cut dovetail joints and brass hardware including shaped backplate handles and key escutcheons.

Look for distinctive figured grain patterns, such as burr or crotch walnut veneer, carefully book-matched across the drawer fronts. Construction markers include carved cabriole legs, shaped edge mouldings, and traditional mortise and tenon joinery.

Position the chest as a focal storage piece in a hallway, bedroom, or living space to add structural interest and warmth. Contrast its curved profile and timber tones against plain background walls, contemporary artwork, or modern lighting.

Maintain the wood finish by dusting regularly with a soft, dry cloth and applying a high-quality beeswax polish along the grain twice per year. Keep the item away from direct sunlight and artificial heat sources to prevent timber movement or veneer damage.
