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 Victorian serpentine chest of drawers features a wave-like, convex-and-concave front profile popularised in the nineteenth century, drawing design inspiration from earlier French Rococo and Chippendale cabinetmaking traditions.

These chests were predominantly crafted using figured mahogany veneers laid over solid pine or oak carcases, featuring hand-cut dovetail joints, oak or pine drawer linings, and cast brass handles.

Authentic Victorian examples typically exhibit hand-cut dovetailing on the drawer construction, hand-planing marks on back panels, original brass or iron locks, and natural timber shrinkage consistent with age.

Position the chest in an entryway, hallway, or bedroom, topping it with a contemporary lamp, structured ceramic vessels, or an accent mirror to balance traditional woodwork with clean modern lines.

Position the wood away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent drying or discolouration, dust regularly with a soft dry cloth, and apply a natural beeswax polish annually to preserve the finish.
