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

Maintain the timber by keeping it away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent cracking, and periodically apply natural beeswax to nourish the wood grain rather than using modern silicone sprays.

In a modern setting, position the piece against a neutral wall as a statement storage solution in a bedroom or hallway, balancing its heavy visual weight with minimalist surrounding decor.

Authenticity is determined by examining hand-cut dovetail joints in the drawers, traditional timber shrinkage, original brass hardware, and hand-finished surfaces that show consistent age-related oxidisation.

These cabinets were predominantly crafted from dense hardwoods such as mahogany, oak, or walnut, often featuring secondary woods like pine or oak for interior components and drawer linings.

A linen press originated as a specialized piece of furniture used to store household linens, often utilizing wooden screws or interior sliding trays to keep fabrics flat before the widespread use of irons.
