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.
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.
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.

A campaign tallboy chest is a tall, two-part chest of drawers originally designed for British military officers to easily dismantle and transport during travel across the Empire.

These pieces were typically constructed from robust hardwoods such as teak, mahogany, or camphor wood, often featuring hand-dovetailed joints and brass or carved timber fittings suited for travel.

Look for a split two-part case design, recessed hardware or wooden handles designed to sit flush or withstand transport, visible hand-cut dovetails, and evidence of historic iron or brass side-carrying handle mountings.

Position the tallboy as a focal point in a master bedroom or spacious hallway, pairing its rich wood tones with neutral wall colours, contemporary art, or minimalist ceramics to balance its heavy proportions.

Dust regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and apply a high-quality beeswax polish once or twice a year, keeping the piece away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent timber shrinkage or fading.
