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

Hand-painted furniture gained widespread popularity in Britain during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, influenced by Continental folk art and Oriental lacquerware trends. Local craftsmen painted softwood timber frames to imitate costly marquetry or to add decorative floral and geometric patterns to everyday storage pieces.

These pieces are predominantly built using solid softwoods like pine or hardwoods like oak for the internal frame and drawer linings. The exterior is coated in gesso, milk paint, or oil-based paints, often fitted with cast brass bail handles or turned timber knobs.

Authentic period pieces feature hand-cut dovetail drawer joints, natural wear to the paint along edges and handles, and age-related shrinkage in the timber panels. Inspecting the underside and back boards often reveals hand-sawn timber marks and genuine oxidisation of fixed iron nails.

Painted chests serve as soft textural accents alongside minimalist or upholstered modern furniture. Placing a matching pair as nightstands or side tables adds historic pattern and storage without overpowering contemporary colour palettes.

Dust painted surfaces regularly with a dry microfibre cloth, avoiding water and chemical solvents that can strip or soften historic finishes. Apply a thin layer of clear natural beeswax once a year to seal the paint work and shield it against moisture.
