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

Georgian inlaid mahogany furniture, popular throughout the 18th century, is characterised by classical proportions, high-quality timber, and decorative contrasting wood inlays such as satinwood or boxwood stringing.

Chest construction during this period typically featured hand-dovetailed drawer joints, solid oak or pine drawer linings, dust boards between drawers, and veneers applied over solid timber substrates.

Authentic pieces display signs of age such as uneven hand-cut dovetails, original backboards with saw marks, natural shrinkage cracks, and period-appropriate hardware like brass oval or swan-neck handles.

A Georgian chest works as a focal point in contemporary entryways, bedrooms, or living rooms when paired with clean-lined modern art, simple ceramics, or contemporary lighting above.

Maintain mahogany by dusting with a soft microfiber cloth, applying beeswax polish sparingly once or twice a year, and placing the item away from direct sunlight, radiators, or damp walls.
