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

Maintain stable indoor humidity levels, keep the wood out of direct sunlight to prevent fading, and apply traditional beeswax periodically to nourish the surface without using modern silicone-based polishes.

Position the piece as a focal point in a high-ceilinged bedroom or dressing room, allowing its rich wood grain to contrast against neutral walls and minimalist furnishings.

Authentic pieces typically feature period-accurate hand-cut dovetail joints, handmade brass hardware, pegged joints, and characteristic timber shrinkage, alongside the two-part modular construction typical of the era.

Cabinetmakers primarily used dense hardwoods such as mahogany, oak, and sometimes walnut, often incorporating secondary woods like pine or oak for internal drawer linings and carcass construction.

A linen press originated in the 18th century as a functional piece of furniture designed for storing freshly laundered and pressed textiles flat before hanging wardrobes became standard.
