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.

FAQs

Seventeenth-century boarded chests were utilitarian storage pieces utilised in homes and churches for securing valuables, textiles, and documents before built-in closets became common.

These pieces were typically constructed from solid English oak, joined using simple tongue-and-groove boards, hand-forged iron nails, and V-notch or cutout feet, often featuring heavy iron strap hinges and locks.

Authenticity is indicated by hand-sawn board marks, period-appropriate hand-forged ironmongery, shrinkage cracks, natural oxidisation, and construction techniques consistent with seventeenth-century joinery.

This piece functions effectively as a grounding element in modern spaces, serving as a coffee table substitute, a linen holder at the end of a bed, or a functional storage unit in an entrance hallway.

Preservation requires maintaining stable indoor humidity levels, avoiding direct sunlight and heat sources, and occasionally treating the timber with traditional beeswax to nourish the wood without sealing it.
