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

Originating in the French countryside during the 18th century, French Provincial dresser bases were crafted by regional cabinetmakers who adapted urban Parisian furniture styles like Louis XV into sturdy, practical oak pieces for provincial homes.

These pieces were primarily built using solid regional hardwoods such as oak, walnut, or fruitwood, fitted with hand-cast brass or iron mountings, escutcheons, and door hardware.

Authentic period pieces feature hand-hewn construction marks, pegged mortise and tenon joinery, natural timber shrinkage over time, and hand-carved decorative relief details rather than machine-moulded ornamentation.

Place the dresser in a hallway, dining room, or living space, pairing its rich wood patina with clean modern walls, contemporary artwork, or minimalist ceramics to create balanced visual texture.

Maintain the timber by dusting regularly with a soft cloth and applying a clear beeswax polish once or twice a year, while avoiding proximity to direct heat sources or damp environments to prevent timber warping.
