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.

A serpentine chest of drawers features a gently curved front profile resembling an S shape, a hallmark design introduced during the mid-to-late 18th century in Georgian England.

These pieces were predominantly crafted from solid mahogany, featuring pine or oak secondary drawer linings, hand-cut dovetailed joints, and cast brass hardware.

Authentic 18th-century examples exhibit hand-sawn dovetail joints, period-correct secondary timber, hand-planed backboards, and natural age wear on the drawer runners.

A Georgian mahogany chest serves as a grounding focal point in an entry hall, bedroom, or living space, complementing contemporary art and structured decorative accessories.

Maintain the original patina by dusting regularly with a dry cloth and applying natural beeswax annually, keeping the piece away from direct heat sources.
