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 dressing chest with an upper cupboard, often referred to as a tallboy or compactum, combines drawer storage with a double-door compartment designed for folded linens or clothing.

These pieces were typically constructed from solid oak, incorporating hand-cut dovetail drawer joints, panelling for structural stability, and carved frieze decoration.

Authentic examples display genuine hand-carved detail, period-correct metal drop handles, original castors, and characteristic quarter-sawn oak grain patterns.

Position the chest in a bedroom, hallway, or dining space alongside neutral tones, contemporary lighting, and minimal decorative accessories to balance the dark wood tones.

Maintain the finish by dusting with a soft dry cloth and applying a quality beeswax polish periodically, while keeping the piece away from direct heat sources and excessive moisture.
