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.
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.
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.

Constructed during the Jacobean and Carolean periods, 17th-century oak servers and low dressers feature sturdy joinery, geometric mouldings, and turned legs, serving as functional side storage in dining halls and living spaces.

These servers were constructed predominantly from native solid oak using peg-and-tenon joinery, equipped with hand-cut drawer construction, wrought iron or brass fitments, and detailed architectural mouldings.

Authentic 17th-century oak pieces display uneven hand-planed surfaces, hand-carved geometric drawer facings, dark age-related patination in recessed areas, and hand-cut dovetail or side-runner drawer construction.

A period oak server functions effectively in modern interiors as an entryway console or dining room sideboard, where dark wood tones provide texture against modern plaster walls or neutral paint palettes.

Preservation involves regular light dusting with a soft cloth and periodic applications of clear beeswax paste, maintaining stable humidity levels, and keeping the wood away from direct heat sources.
