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

Nineteenth-century English painted furniture often used pine or softwoods as a base, finished with layers of milk paint or oil-based paint. These pieces were frequently created for country houses, servant quarters, or utilitarian domestic spaces, where paint provided both protection and decorative colour.

These chests were typically constructed from solid pine or fir using hand-cut dovetail joints on the drawer linings. Back panels were hand-planed, and turned wooden knobs or brass escutcheons were fitted to match the simple regional joinery.

Authentic original paint exhibits natural wear patterns corresponding to daily handling, particularly around drawer knobs, keyholes, edges, and feet. Craquelure, subtle colour shifts, and underlying primer or bare wood visible in high-contact areas indicate historical age rather than artificial distressing.

A painted antique chest offers visual texture when contrasted against smooth plaster walls or modern minimalist artwork. Placing a contemporary table lamp or structured ceramics on the top surface creates a balanced dialogue between historical patina and clean modern design.

Original painted surfaces should be kept free from excess moisture and harsh chemical cleansers. Dusting with a dry, soft cloth is recommended, while a light coat of clear microcrystalline wax can be applied sparingly to stabilize flaking paint and protect against atmospheric humidity.
