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 tray-top commode, also known as a night cupboard or bedside cabinet, is an 18th-century piece of English furniture designed with an elevated gallery around the top surface to prevent items from falling off.

These cabinets were primarily crafted from dense mahogany, featuring pine or oak secondary timber for internal drawer linings, complemented by cast brass handles and decorative boxwood inlay.

Authentic period pieces feature hand-cut dovetail joints, oak or pine secondary drawer bottoms, hand-planed back panels, and cast brass hardware with original hand-chased surface details.

This versatile cabinet functions effectively as a bedside table, an end table alongside a sofa, or a functional accent piece in a formal hallway or library.

Dust the wood regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and apply a high-quality beeswax polish once or twice a year, avoiding synthetic aerosol sprays and excess moisture.
