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 serpentine chest of drawers features a gently curved front shaped like an alternating wave, popularised in 18th-century English cabinet making to create subtle light reflections across mahogany grain.

18th-century chests typically feature hand-cut dovetail joints, flame mahogany drawer fronts, solid pine or oak drawer linings, and cast brass backplates with drop handles.

Authentic Georgian pieces exhibit hand-saw marks on drawer linings, wood shrinkage around joints, original steel lock mechanisms, and a dark natural patination within drawer cavities.

Positioning a mahogany chest against a neutral backdrop creates visual balance, paired with contemporary artwork or minimalist table lamps to modernise traditional woodwork.

Dust regularly with a microfibre cloth and apply beeswax sparingly once per year, keeping the cabinet away from direct radiators and sunlight to prevent timber movement.
