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

Specimen chests were designed during the nineteenth century primarily for naturalists and collectors to organise geological, botanical, or entomological samples in shallow drawers.

These pieces were typically crafted from hardwoods such as mahogany or softwoods like pine, featuring hand-cut dovetail joinery, turned wooden knobs, and solid bases.

Authentic period pieces display hand-cut dovetails, secondary timber drawer linings, original turned timber knobs, and natural wear patterns around heavily handled areas.

A specimen chest functions well in a home office, hallway, or living space as functional storage for flat items, prints, stationery, or small curated items.

Regular dusting with a dry microfibre cloth and periodic application of natural beeswax polish will maintain the timber finish while avoiding placement near direct heat sources.
