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

Named after the First Duke of Wellington following his victory at Waterloo in 1815, a Wellington chest is a tall, narrow multi-drawer cabinet designed to provide compact storage, featuring a signature hinged side pilaster that locks all drawers simultaneously.

These chests were predominantly crafted using solid mahogany, walnut, or rosewood, often fitted with oak or pine internal drawer linings, brass key escutcheons, and turned wooden handles.

Authentic 19th-century examples typically feature hand-cut dovetail jointing on the drawer boxes, a functioning hinged side locking bar, hand-turned timber knobs, and a solid continuous plinth base.

Position the tall, narrow silhouette in an alcove, hallway, or home office to capitalise on vertical storage space while pairing rich timber tones with modern neutral wall palettes.

Keep mahogany furniture away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent timber shrinkage or splitting, and apply high-grade beeswax polish periodically along the direction of the grain.
