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

Nineteenth-century Swedish Gustavian furniture is defined by light colour palettes, symmetrical lines, fluted columns, and refined Neoclassical proportions. These pieces adapted French court styles for Nordic interiors to maximise ambient light during winter months.

These chests were constructed primarily from native softwoods such as pine or fir, joined with dovetail construction, and finished with oil or tempera paint. Cast brass hardware and carved architectural moldings around columns and feet were standard functional and decorative elements.

Authentic pieces feature evidence of period craftsmanship including hand-planed backboards, hand-cut dovetail joints, and natural wear across contact surfaces. Original paint finishes typically show subtle layering, cracking, and authentic wood exposure under later overpainting.

A pair of painted chests can be placed symmetrically flanking a bed as bedside tables or positioned on either side of a wide doorway. The light grey palette balances modern neutral decor while introducing structural texture.

Dust the surface regularly with a dry, soft microfibre cloth without using liquid polishes or abrasive cleansers. Maintain stable humidity levels indoors to prevent the timber from expanding or shrinking, which can loosen historical paint layers.
