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.

Chests of drawers from the early 19th century, covering the late Georgian and Regency periods, are characterized by balanced proportions, clean lines, and fine wood veneers such as walnut or mahogany. Features often include brass swan-neck handles, bracket feet, and subtle decorative elements like canted corners or fretwork detailing.

Primary woods for visible surfaces typically included walnut, mahogany, or oak, often applied as thin decorative veneers over solid timber frames. Secondary woods used for drawer interiors and back panels usually comprised pine, oak, or poplar, bound together with cast brass hardware.

Authentic period pieces exhibit hand-cut dovetail joints on the drawer construction, uneven tool marks on secondary timber panels, and natural wear around handles and drawer runners. Original cast brass lock plates and handles often display slight irregularities consistent with hand-casting and period craftsmanship.

An antique chest of drawers can serve as a focal point in a contemporary hallway, living room, or bedroom. Pair the dark, rich timber tones with modern artwork, neutral wall shades, or contemporary lighting to create a balanced blend of historical character and modern aesthetics.

Maintain the finish by dusting regularly with a soft, dry lint-free cloth and applying a high-quality beeswax polish once or twice a year. Keep the piece away from direct sunlight, radiators, and extreme changes in humidity to prevent wood shrinkage, cracking, or veneer lifting.
