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

A Georgian serpentine chest features a distinctive gentle S-curve across its front facade, popularised in England during the mid-to-late 18th century. Influenced by Thomas Chippendale and George Hepplewhite, these pieces showcase balanced classical proportions and refined cabinet making.

Primary timbers typically included dense West Indian or Cuban mahogany for exterior surfaces, prized for its deep tone and stability. Secondary woods such as oak or pine were utilised for drawer linings, complemented by cast brass handles and escutcheons.

Authentic pieces feature hand-cut dovetail joints, irregular drawer lining construction, and hand-planed back panels displaying natural timber shrinkage. Additionally, original brass hardware often shows cast marks and hand-cut thread patterns on fixing bolts.

Position the chest as a focal point in a hallway, bedroom, or living room, balancing its rich timber tones with neutral wall palettes. Top the surface with contemporary ceramics, simple lighting, or framed artwork to create a dialogue between historical craftsmanship and modern design.

Maintain a stable indoor humidity level and keep the chest away from direct sunlight or heat sources to prevent timber movement and fading. Dust regularly with a soft cloth and apply a high-quality beeswax polish sparingly once or twice a year.
