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.
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.
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.

George II style furniture from the mid-18th century features balanced proportions, cabriole legs, and carved details such as acanthus leaves or shell motifs. Figured walnut veneers were frequently applied to structural frames to showcase symmetrical grain patterns.

The primary exterior surfaces typically utilise walnut or figured walnut veneers laid over pine or oak frameworks. Drawer linings are traditionally constructed from oak or pine using dovetail joints, complemented by cast brass handles and escutcheons.

Authentic period pieces display hand-sawn dovetail joints, hand-cut timber linings, and visible wear on internal drawer runners. The secondary timbers typically exhibit uneven hand-planing marks and natural oxidisation appropriate to age.

A chest on stand functions as a focal storage piece in a hallway, dining room, or bedroom. The elevated design creates visual floor space beneath, balancing heavier contemporary upholstery and minimalist architectural elements.

Apply a clear, high-grade beeswax polish once or twice a year to protect the timber surface. Maintain consistent humidity levels and keep the piece positioned away from direct sunlight or direct heat sources to prevent veneer lifting.
