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.

This pair of antique Chippendale style bedside cabinets dates from 1920. Made from warm brown mahogany with visible grain and veneers, the pieces have serpentine shaped tops with cross banding to the front and sides. Each cabinet incorporates four dovetailed drawers with cock beading to the edges, detailed brass swan neck handles, and canted reeded corners flanking the top three drawers. The structure stands on cabriole legs with shell carved knees and curved claw and ball style feet. Minor knocks and marks show age and careful use. Measuring 47 cm wide, 32 cm deep and 78 cm high, the cabinets fit beside a bed or serve as lamp stands in a living room or hallway. In a home today, these bedside chests provide convenient surface space and practical storage for books, lamps and night-time essentials. The traditional English country house design and warm timber tones suit both period properties and classic interiors. Placed in a bedroom, guest room or study, the matched pair adds symmetry and traditional character to domestic spaces.

FAQs

Serpentine bedside cabinets feature a distinctive convex and concave curving front profile, popularised in 18th-century England, frequently constructed with flame mahogany veneers, decorative brass handles, and carved cabriole legs.

Traditional chests are constructed from mahogany wood and flame mahogany veneers over secondary softwoods like pine or oak, featuring hand-cut dovetail joints and cast brass handles.

Authentic pieces demonstrate precise dovetailing on drawer joints, natural wood shrinkage on internal panels, period-appropriate cast brass fittings, hand-carved motifs on cabriole knees, and genuine wear to the base of the feet.

Position them symmetrically on either side of a bed with contemporary lamps to create balance, or place them individually as side tables alongside armchairs in a living room.

Dust surfaces regularly with a soft microfibre cloth and apply a clear beeswax polish twice yearly along the wood grain, ensuring the wood is kept away from direct heat sources and sunlight.
