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

A dresser base is a low wooden storage unit with drawers and legs, originally functioning as the lower section of a kitchen dresser or as an independent serving table in 18th-century British dining rooms.

These pieces were typically constructed from native timber such as pine, oak, or fruitwood, secured with hand-cut joinery and finished with milk-based or oil paints alongside cast brass hardware.

Authentic pieces feature hand-dovetailed drawer construction, hand-sawn backboards, natural surface wear showing timber beneath the paint layers, and period-correct brass swan-neck or teardrop handles.

Position the piece in an entryway or dining space, balancing its aged painted surface by pairing it with contemporary artwork, minimalist table lamps, or modern ceramic decorative accents above.

Clean the surface regularly using a soft, dry cloth and apply a thin layer of neutral clear microcrystalline wax periodically to protect the historic paint finish from environmental damage.
