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.
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.

A chest on chest, also known as a tallboy, consists of two stacked chests of drawers designed to provide extensive vertical storage while saving floor space. The furniture form gained widespread popularity in Britain during the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries.

Late Georgian examples frequently feature solid walnut or mahogany frameworks faced with figured walnut or burr walnut veneers. Hand-cut dovetail joints, oak or pine drawer linings, and cast brass drop handles are typical construction highlights.

Authentic pieces display hand-sawn timber marks, hand-cut dovetail jointing on the drawers, original brass lock escutcheons, and signs of natural age-related oxidisation on the rear pine boards. The upper chest section is generally slightly narrower than the lower base.

Position the chest on chest as a focal storage piece in a bedroom, dressing room, or large hallway. Pair the warm walnut tones with neutral wall palettes, contemporary linen textiles, or minimalist artwork to balance historical weight with modern clarity.

Apply a high-quality beeswax polish once or twice a year using a soft microfibre cloth, buffing gently along the wood grain. Keep the furniture away from direct sunlight, radiators, and extreme fluctuations in humidity to prevent veneer lifting.
