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

Produced during the late Stuart period around 1660 to 1688, Carolean oak chests of drawers feature geometric mitred mouldings on drawer fronts, side-hung drawer construction, and decorative brass drop handles with pierced escutcheons.

Case furniture from this era was constructed using solid native oak joined with hand-cut mortise and tenon joints, timber pegs, and drawers that operate on side-grooved runners rather than modern bottom supports.

Authentic period pieces feature hand-sawn backboards showing pit-saw marks, hand-forged iron fixings, original drawer side-runner wear, and geometric moulding profiles secured with wooden pegs.

Position the chest as an architectural focal point in a hallway, dining area, or bedroom, contrasting the dark oak patina against light neutral walls and minimalist modern artwork.

Maintain the timber by applying a natural beeswax polish once or twice a year using a soft cloth, avoiding direct heat sources and areas of high humidity to prevent wood movement.
