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 tallboy, also known as a chest-on-chest, is a tall piece of furniture comprising two stacked chests of drawers, originally developed in the early eighteenth century to maximise vertical storage space.

Traditional examples feature solid timber frames, often oak or pine secondary woods, veneered in figured walnut or burr walnut with brass drop handles and escutcheons.

Look for hand-cut dovetail drawer joints, oak or pine drawer linings, period-appropriate brass hardware marks, and natural patination or timber shrinkage consistent with age.

A tallboy functions effectively as a focal piece in a bedroom or hallway, providing substantial storage while balancing contemporary minimalist decor with rich timber tones.

Keep the piece away from direct heat sources and sunlight, dust regularly with a soft dry cloth, and apply high-quality beeswax twice yearly to protect the finish.
