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 chest on chest, also known as a tallboy, is a traditional piece of case furniture originating in the 18th century. It features two stacked drawer units, designed to maximize vertical clothing storage while conserving floor space.

Georgian examples were predominantly crafted from solid mahogany or oak, often lined with pine or cedar. High-status pieces featured hand-painted polychrome decoration, decorative veneers, and cast brass drop handles.

Authentic period pieces exhibit hand-cut dovetail joints, oak or pine secondary drawer timbers, and natural oxidisation on drawer bottoms. Look for hand-turned brass fittings and structural wear consistent with two centuries of use.

Position a tallboy as a focal anchor piece along a main bedroom or dressing room wall. Balance its substantial vertical profile with muted wall tones, contemporary lighting, and minimal tabletop accessories.

Keep painted antique wood away from direct sunlight and central heating sources to prevent paint cracking and timber movement. Dust regularly with a clean, dry microfiber cloth and avoid harsh chemical polishes.
