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.

The late 17th century marked a transition from heavy oak to fine walnut cabinetmaking, coinciding with the Carolean and William and Mary eras. Pieces from this period frequently incorporated highly figured walnut veneers, herringbone crossbanding, turned bun feet, and teardrop brass drop handles.

Chests from this era typically feature a solid oak or pine carcass overlaid with thick-cut walnut veneers, including figured or burr walnut sections. Secondary timber for drawer linings was predominantly oak, while decorative elements included cast brass drop handles and escutcheons.

Authentic pieces display large, hand-cut dovetail joints, thick hand-sawn veneers, and heavy oak drawer linings running front-to-back. Original period hardware leaves distinct patination marks, and the underside structure often shows hand-planed timbers and authentic turned bun feet attachment.

A period walnut chest functions as a focal point against neutral walls in living areas, hallways, or bedrooms. Pairing dark timber with clean modern ceramics, textured natural linens, and simple contemporary artwork balances historical weight with modern design elements.

Maintain stable humidity levels and keep the piece away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent veneer lifting or fading. Clean surfaces with a soft, dry cloth and apply a high-grade beeswax polish annually to protect the original patination.
