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

Named after the First Duke of Wellington, a Wellington chest is a tall, narrow suite of drawers secured by a single hinged side flange or pilaster that locks over the drawer ends.

Victorian examples commonly featured mahogany, rosewood, or burr walnut veneers applied over pine or oak carcases, secured with brass lock mechanisms and turned wooden knobs.

Look for a functioning side locking pilaster, hand-cut dovetail joints on the drawers, original brass keyhole escutcheons, and authentic wear patterns along the drawer runners.

Its vertical proportions make it suitable for narrow alcoves or hallway spaces, where the natural wood grain provides warm contrast against modern wall finishes.

Dust regularly with a dry cloth, apply a high-quality beeswax polish annually along the wood grain, and keep the piece away from direct sunlight or strong heat sources to prevent veneer lifting.
