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

Estate cabinets produced by firms such as Gillows of Lancaster and London were commissioned for grand country houses to organise documents, ledgers, and household inventory. Renowned for exceptional timber selection and precise cabinetmaking, these functional storage pieces represented the high standard of English furniture production in the 18th and 19th centuries.

Cabinets from this era feature solid mahogany frameworks layered with highly figured flame mahogany veneers. Joints are constructed using hand-cut dovetails, while panelled doors incorporate solid timber fielded panels, mortise-and-tenon framing, and hand-turned feet for structural stability.

Authentic Gillows pieces frequently feature a stamped mark on the top edge of drawer linings or door frames, reading GILLOWS, GILLOWS & CO, or L. O. & N. GILLOWS. Identification can also be confirmed through high-grade timber quality, finely cut dovetails, and distinctive carved panel mouldings consistent with original firm design books.

Place the cabinet against neutral, light-coloured walls to highlight the deep tones and grain patterns of the flame mahogany. Style the top surface with contemporary ceramics or architectural lamps to balance the classical proportions of the piece.

Dust the surface regularly with a soft, dry lint-free cloth. Apply a high-quality beeswax polish once or twice a year, buffing gently along the direction of the grain to maintain the original finish, and keep the piece away from direct heat sources to prevent timber shrinkage.
