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

Georgian serpentine fronted furniture features a distinctive undulating wave-shaped front facade, a design popularised during the 18th century in Great Britain to create movement and elegant proportions.

These pieces are predominantly crafted from solid mahogany or mahogany veneers, frequently incorporating pine or oak as secondary woods for drawer linings, along with boxwood stringing and brass keyhole escutcheons.

Authentic period pieces typically feature hand-cut dovetail joints, hand-sawn secondary timber on drawer bottoms, natural wood oxidisation on the underside, and period-correct hardware such as brass escutcheons or turned wooden knobs.

A Georgian serpentine chest can be integrated into contemporary spaces by placing it in an entryway or bedroom, offset by modern ceramic vessels, minimalist artwork, or a textured table lamp to balance traditional timber tones.

Maintain mahogany timber by dusting regularly with a soft dry cloth, placing the item away from direct sunlight or heat sources, and applying a high-quality beeswax polish once or twice per year to preserve the original patina.
