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 George III chest on chest, also known as a tallboy, is a two-part wooden storage cabinet produced during the reign of King George III (17601820), featuring a smaller chest of drawers stacked atop a larger base chest.

These pieces were typically constructed from solid mahogany or mahogany veneers over pine or oak carcasses, finished with hand-cast brass handles, keyhole escutcheons, and steel locks.

Authentic 18th-century examples feature hand-cut dovetail joints, hand-sawn secondary timbers such as oak or pine drawer linings, natural wood shrinkage along the grain, and original cast brass hardware.

Contrast the dark wood and grand proportions of mahogany case furniture against contemporary neutral walls, or pair it with modern art and minimalist lighting to balance historic craftsmanship with modern design.

Keep mahogany furniture away from direct heat sources and strong sunlight, dust regularly with a soft dry cloth, and apply a high-quality beeswax polish once or twice a year to preserve the timber finish.
