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.

George III chests of drawers, produced between 1760 and 1820, are noted for balanced proportions, classical restraint, and fine timber veneers. Common features include bowfront or straight-front silhouettes, cockbeaded drawer edges, and brass hardware.

Primary timbers were predominantly Cuban or West Indian mahogany, valued for grain density and stability, with oak or pine used for secondary drawer linings. Craftsmanship relied on hand-cut dovetail joints, cockbeaded drawer surrounds, and solid timber backboards.

Look for signs of historical hand tools, such as uneven dovetail pins and hand-sawn backboards, alongside natural timber shrinkage. Authentic pieces typically display period brass backplates and keyhole escutcheons showing natural patination.

Position the piece as a focal point against neutral walls to highlight the warm mahogany timber tones. Balance the traditional woodwork by decorating the top surface with modern ceramics or minimal contemporary lighting.

Dust regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and apply a quality beeswax polish twice annually to protect the surface finish. Avoid placement near direct heat sources or prolonged sunlight to prevent timber movement and colour fading.
