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

South German chests of drawers from the 18th century frequently feature serpentine or double-curved fronts, intricate walnut quartering or parquetry inlay, and cast brass escutcheons and handles.

Cabinetmakers employed softwoods or oak for the carcass, applying highly figured walnut, fruitwood, or kingwood veneers across the curved surfaces alongside solid brass hardware.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-sawn dovetail joints, thick hand-cut wood veneers, original iron locks, uneven drawer bottoms from hand planing, and natural age-related oxidisation on structural timbers.

A serpentine chest serves as a focal point in hallways, bedrooms, or living spaces, where the organic curves contrast against clean-lined contemporary walls and minimalist architectural details.

Keep the item in a stable environment away from direct heat sources and sunlight, dusting regularly with a soft dry cloth and applying beeswax sparingly once or twice per year.
