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 eighteenth century, consisting of two separate stacked chest units to maximise vertical storage while conserving floor space.

Georgian chests on chests were typically crafted from high-grade timbers such as flame or figured mahogany, featuring hand-dovetailed drawer linings, solid oak or pine secondary woods, and cast brass backplate handles.

Authentic George III pieces exhibit hand-cut dovetail joints, hand-planed back panels, natural timber shrinkage over time, and original brass fittings showing subtle wear and historic patination rather than uniform modern casting.

A tall mahogany chest on chest acts as a focal piece in a bedroom, dressing room, or hallway, pairing with modern neutral wallpaper, textured linen textiles, and contemporary artwork to balance classic and modern elements.

Dust regularly with a soft, dry microfibre cloth and apply a quality beeswax polish once or twice a year, avoiding silicone-based sprays, direct sunlight, and placement near active heat sources to protect the historic timber finish.
