Strictly Vetted Dealers

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

Named after the Duke of Wellington, a Wellington chest is a tall, narrow nineteenth-century chest of drawers featuring a hinged side bar that locks all drawers simultaneously.

These chests were primarily crafted from solid hardwoods such as mahogany, walnut, or rosewood, frequently incorporating flame veneer drawer fronts and turned timber knobs.

Authentic examples feature a hinged side stile or locking bar secured by a key, hand-cut dovetail joints on the drawers, and period-correct brass or wooden pulls.

Owing to its narrow vertical profile, a Wellington chest fits effectively into compact spaces such as hallway alcoves, home offices, or dressing rooms to provide organized storage.

Dust regularly with a soft dry cloth and apply a natural beeswax polish twice a year along the wood grain to protect the finish and preserve the patina.
