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

Early 19th-century chests of drawers typically feature high-grade mahogany, symmetrical drawer arrangements, cockbeaded drawer edges, and classical foot styles such as bracket or turned feet. Cabinetmakers during this period prioritized balanced proportions, subtle decorative veneers, and functional interior layouts tailored to domestic storage.

Primary timber was predominantly flame mahogany or native oak, while secondary timbers used for drawer linings included deal (pine) or oak. Hardware typically consisted of cast or stamped brass handles, escutcheons, and steel lever locks.

Authentic period pieces exhibit hand-cut dovetail joints, hand-sawn secondary timber linings, and natural timber shrinkage over time. Look for age-appropriate wear around keyholes, original cast brass fittings, and smooth patination on handles and drawer runners.

Position the piece against neutral, textured walls to highlight the deep timber tones and polished brassware. Modernise the look by pairing it with contemporary artwork, clean-lined ceramics, or architectural lighting to balance traditional cabinetmaker craftsmanship with modern aesthetics.

Dust regularly using a dry microfibre cloth and apply a quality beeswax polish once or twice a year following the timber grain. Keep the furniture away from direct heat sources and direct sunlight to prevent timber movement, drying, or bleaching.
