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.

Sign-written chests of drawers were utilitarian storage pieces used by merchants, tradespeople, or agricultural suppliers during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, featuring hand-painted advertising or inventory lettering.

These pieces typically feature solid pine framing with dovetailed drawer joints, hand-painted lettering using oil-based paints, and turned wooden feet, often complemented by glass or brass drawer pulls.

Authentic examples show consistent age wear across the painted surface, natural crazing around hand-lettered areas, and period-correct joinery such as hand-cut dovetails and hand-sawn backboards.

Integrate the chest as a statement storage piece in an entryway, hallway, or dining room, pairing its bold typography with neutral walls and minimalist modern ceramics or brass accents.

Clean gently with a dry microfibre cloth, avoid harsh chemical cleaners or excessive moisture that could lift the paint layer, and keep away from direct sunlight to prevent fading.
