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 chest on stand, also referred to as a highboy or tallboy, consists of a upper chest of drawers mounted upon a dedicated raised base with legs. Popularised during the late 17th century in Britain and Western Europe, this form elevated storage off damp floors while providing balanced visual proportion.

Period chests on stand were constructed primarily from solid native oak, utilising hand-cut mortise and tenon joinery alongside pegged construction. Drawers typically featured hand-dovetailed joints, side-hung runners, drop-pendant brass handles, and geometric applied mouldings.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-sawn timber marks, irregular hand-cut dovetail joints, natural timber shrinkage across wide panels, and historic wear surrounding brass key escutcheons and handles. The presence of modern machine-cut screws or uniform timber grain usually indicates later reproduction or substantial alteration.

A historic oak chest on stand functions as a focal architectural piece when placed against a neutral wall in a hallway, dining room, or living space. Its dark wood grain and structured geometric panelling complement contemporary minimalist aesthetics by adding textural depth.

Maintain the timber by keeping the piece in an environment with stable temperature and humidity levels, avoiding proximity to radiators or direct sunlight. Clean surfaces using a soft, dry cloth and apply a clear beeswax polish periodically to preserve the original patina.
