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

A Welsh dresser typically features a lower base of drawers and cupboards combined with an open upper plate rack, originally developed in domestic kitchens for storing and displaying utilitarian tableware.

These pieces are predominantly constructed from solid native hardwoods such as English and Welsh oak, featuring traditional joinery methods including hand-cut dovetails, peg joints, and panelled backboards.

Authenticity is identified through hand-planed timber surfaces, period-appropriate hardware like brass drop handles or wooden knobs, natural patination, and construction irregularities consistent with hand tools.

An antique oak dresser provides functional storage and display space, contrasting effectively against neutral modern walls while housing contemporary ceramics, books, or glassware.

Preservation involves maintaining stable indoor humidity levels, avoiding direct sunlight to protect the natural finish, and periodically applying microcrystalline wax to nourish the timber.
