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

Originating in 17th-century Britain, the dresser base served as a functional storage cabinet in country kitchens and dining rooms. It provided a flat work surface for food preparation or serving, while the drawers beneath held cutlery, linens, and cooking utensils.

Traditional English dresser bases were constructed from regional softwoods like pine or hardwoods such as oak and fruitwood. Surfaces were frequently painted or fitted with marble or slate tops to withstand kitchen work and daily use.

Authentic period examples exhibit hand-cut dovetail drawer joints, hand-planed back panels, and natural wear patterns where paint has worn away over decades of handling. Original brass hardware will show subtle irregularities, patination, and hand-cast detailing.

A painted dresser base works as a anchor piece in a hallway, dining room, or open-plan living space. Contrast the dark painted timber by positioning large ceramic vessels, framed artwork, or a large mirror directly above the surface.

Maintain the painted finish by dusting regularly with a soft, dry cloth and avoiding harsh chemical cleansers. Marble tops should be wiped clean immediately after spills using a neutral, non-acidic cleaner to prevent staining or etching of the surface.
