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.

Secure Transit

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.

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

Tall chests of drawers, often referred to as tallboys, emerged in the late 17th century to maximise vertical storage space in bedrooms without occupying a large floor footprint.

Authentic pieces are typically constructed from solid hardwoods like oak or mahogany, utilising traditional joinery such as dovetail joints for the drawers and mortise and tenon frames.

Authentication relies on examining tool marks, hand-cut dovetails, timber shrinkage patterns, period-appropriate hardware, and the natural oxidisation of the wood over time.

A tall chest provides functional height variation in a room; pair it with minimalist contemporary art above or utilise the top surface to display sculptural ceramics while maintaining uncluttered lines.

Maintain stable indoor humidity levels away from direct heat sources to prevent timber splitting, and periodically nourish the wood with appropriate microcrystalline wax rather than silicone-based polishes.
