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

Originating in the Georgian and Regency periods, serpentine chests feature a subtle S-shaped double-curved front profile. These pieces typically showcase fine timber veneers, such as flame mahogany, alongside classical proportions and graduated drawer layouts.

Craftsmen primarily utilised solid mahogany and mahogany veneers over oak or pine carcases. Construction features hand-cut dovetail joints, brass or wooden drawer pulls, and inlaid stringing or crossbanding along the edges.

Authentic period chests display hand-sawn wood marks on the drawer linings, irregular hand-cut dovetail joints, and natural shrinkage around keyholes or timber panels. Authentic drawer bottoms often feature wood grain running front-to-back.

A serpentine chest serves as a focal piece when placed against a contemporary feature wall or paired with modern artwork. Modern interior styling balances dark mahogany timber with neutral linen textiles and understated decorative objects.

Dust regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and apply a high-quality beeswax polish once or twice a year in the direction of the wood grain. Keep the item away from direct sunlight and heat radiators to prevent timber fading and warping.
