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 lowboy is a small table equipped with drawers, originating in the late 17th and early 18th centuries in Britain and America, designed primarily for use as a dressing table or side table.

Period lowboys were commonly constructed from walnut, oak, or mahogany, featuring hand-cut dovetail drawer joints, crossbanded veneer borders, and hand-carved cabriole legs.

Authentic pieces display hand-planed woodwork, irregular dovetail joints, period brass batwing handles, natural wood shrinkage, and carved shell or motif details on the knees of the legs.

A walnut lowboy functions as an entryway console table, a compact hallway desk, or a bedside table, creating historical visual structure when paired with modern artwork or modern lighting.

Regularly remove dust with a soft cloth, apply beeswax twice a year to preserve the surface patina, and position the table away from direct sunlight and artificial heat sources to prevent timber movement.
