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.

This 1930s Cotswold School dressing chest and matching stool are constructed from solid sycamore and walnut, presenting a warm brown colour palette. The dressing chest incorporates twin pedestals of stacked drawers with raised sycamore panels, handmade brass and copper drop handles, stepped sledge feet, and a central cupboard enclosing a storage compartment and two inlaid drawers. An original large rectangular mirror sits above, featuring a cut-in border design around the edge. Accompanying the table is a matching walnut stool fitted with a white upholstered drop-in seat, raised on straight legs joined by lower stretchers. The chest measures 122 cm high, 118 cm wide, and 46 cm deep. This piece serves as a functional bedroom vanity set for daily grooming routines while bringing mid-century English craftsmanship to a dressing area or guest suite.

FAQs

Originating from the Arts and Crafts movement, Cotswold School design emphasizes hand craftsmanship, functional forms, exposed joinery, and unpretentious timber finishes developed during the early to mid-twentieth century.

Pieces were typically constructed using native hardwoods such as oak, walnut, ash, or chestnut, often featuring solid drawer linings, handcrafted metal hardware, and hand-cut dovetail joints.

Authentic items display meticulous attention to timber grain, subtle chamfering or inlay, visible structural joinery, and well-proportioned, minimalist silhouettes free from excessive applied ornamentation.

Position the piece against a neutral backdrop to highlight the natural wood tones, and pair it with simple contemporary lighting to create a refined bedroom dressing area.

Clean timber surfaces with a soft, dry cloth and apply natural beeswax polish along the grain periodically, while keeping the piece away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent drying or discolouration.
