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.

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

Chests of drawers from the early 18th century typically feature joined oak construction, carved geometric or rope-work mouldings, and simple turned wooden knobs or brass drop handles. The proportion remains grounded, often standing on bracket feet or a plinth base, reflecting transitional design elements between the Jacobean and William and Mary eras.

Furniture from this period was constructed primarily from solid English oak, with hand-cut dovetail joints securing the drawer boxes. Drawer bottoms and back panels often used secondary native timbers like pine or fruitwood, held together with wood pegs and iron nails.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-planed surfaces, irregular hand-carved detailing, and asymmetric drawer construction. Look for signs of authentic age such as uneven shrinkage of the wood planks, hand-forged iron lock plates, and deep, dark patination in recessed areas.

An early oak chest serves as a grounding focal point in contemporary spaces when contrasted against plain, light-coloured walls. It functions well in hallways, living rooms, or bedrooms, styled with minimalist ceramics, modern lighting, or abstract framed artwork to balance the heavy timber.

Maintain the timber by dusting regularly with a dry, soft cloth and applying a clear beeswax polish once or twice a year to nourish the wood. Keep the piece away from direct heat sources and radiators to prevent shrinking, cracking, or warping of the solid oak boards.
