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

Mid-19th-century Scandinavian chests of drawers typically feature light-toned native timbers, clean geometric proportions, and functional four-drawer configurations influenced by Biedermeier and neoclassical styles.

Cabinetmakers frequently utilised native hardwoods such as elm, birch, and pine, often employing veneer and marquetry techniques to form chevron or parquetry pattern work complemented by brass fittings.

Authentic period pieces exhibit hand-cut dovetail drawer joints, original locks with brass escutcheons, solid timber back panels, and natural wood grain variations consistent with hand-planed construction.

A light timber chest acts as a warm accent piece against neutral wall tones, pairing easily with modern minimalism, contemporary artwork, or traditional upholstery.

Dust regularly with a dry microfibre cloth, apply a high-grade beeswax polish annually along the grain, and maintain a consistent indoor humidity level to protect the wood veneers.
