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

Characterised by its convex curved front face, the bowfront chest emerged during the late 18th century as a refined variation of the standard flat-fronted chest, offering a lighter visual footprint and elegant neoclassical lines.

Craftsmen typically utilised flame mahogany veneers over solid pine or oak carcases, accentuating the drawer fronts with fine boxwood or satinwood stringing and fitting cast brass handles.

Authentic period examples feature hand-cut dovetail joints on hand-planed drawer linings, original brass lock mechanisms, and evidence of natural wood movement or subtle wear around keyholes and feet.

Place the chest as a focal point in a hallway or bedroom, paired with modern abstract artwork above or balanced with minimalist ceramics to contrast the rich timber tones.

Dust regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and apply a quality beeswax polish twice yearly, keeping the piece away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent timber warping and veneer lifting.
