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.

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

Originating in 18th-century Britain, a Georgian serpentine chest features a distinctive gentle S-curve across its front face, combining classical proportion with sophisticated cabinetmaking skills typical of the period.

Cabinetmakers predominantly crafted these chests from solid mahogany or mahogany veneers, often employing oak or pine as secondary drawer lining woods, paired with hand-cast brass handles and escutcheons.

Authentic pieces exhibit period-correct construction markers such as hand-cut dovetail joints, oak or pine drawer linings, original cast brass hardware showing age-appropriate oxidisation, and smooth timber shrinkage marks along the back boards.

A serpentine chest functions well as a focal statement in an entryway, living room, or bedroom, harmonising with contemporary minimalist decor through its rich timber grain and elegant curved silhouette.

Preserve the original patina by dusting regularly with a soft dry cloth and applying high-quality beeswax twice a year, keeping the furniture away from direct heat sources and excessive moisture.
