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.

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 semainier is a traditional French tall chest of drawers designed with seven distinct drawers, corresponding to the seven days of the week for organising daily garments and linens.

These chests were typically crafted using native French hardwoods such as cherry, walnut, or mahogany, topped with fitted marble slabs and accented with cast brass or bronze drawer pulls.

Authentic period pieces feature hand-cut dovetail drawer joints, hand-planed back panels, original brass hardware with aged patina, and natural wear patterns consistent with hand-sawing techniques.

A semainier serves as a functional vertical storage solution in narrow spaces such as hallways, alcoves, or dressing rooms, pairing well with contemporary artwork framed above the marble top.

Dust the timber regularly with a soft dry cloth and apply a neutral beeswax polish annually, while clean the marble top using pH-neutral stone cleaner to prevent staining or etching.
