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.
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.

William and Mary style furniture, originating in the late seventeenth century, is characterized by Dutch influence, intricate marquetry scrollwork, dark walnut veneers, and turned bun feet.

These chests typically feature a solid pine or oak carcass veneered with walnut, olivewood, or sycamore, alongside brass teardrop handles and contrasting fruitwood inlays.

Authentic period marquetry shows subtle hand-cut variations in the veneer, slight shrinkage gaps along seam lines, uneven oxidisation of the timber, and hand-forged drawer joinery.

Positioning an inlaid chest against a plain, painted wall creates a focal point, balanced by contemporary lighting or minimalist ceramics placed on the top surface.

Keep the wood away from direct heat sources or sunlight, control indoor humidity levels, and apply a high-grade beeswax polish annually using a soft cotton cloth.
