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.

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

The chest on chest, also known as a tallboy or highboy, was developed in the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries in Europe and Britain. It was designed to maximize vertical clothing storage in bedrooms while retaining compact floor footprint dimensions.

Traditional tallboys are constructed with solid wood carcasses faced with highly figured or burr walnut veneers, bounded by crossbanding or featherbanding. Drawers feature hand-cut dovetail joints, oak or pine linings, and solid brass drop handles or teardrop pulls.

Authentic period examples demonstrate hand-planed drawer bottoms, irregular dovetail joint spacing, and evidence of historical hand tools. Check for natural timber shrinkage lines along veneer seams and wear patterns along the bottom drawer runners.

Positioning a substantial wooden chest against crisp, modern neutral walls or deep, saturated hues creates a balanced focal point. Complement the piece with contemporary tabletop lighting or architectural ceramics to bridge classical and modern aesthetics.

Position the piece away from direct sunlight, radiators, and fluctuating heat sources to prevent veneer lifting or timber shrinkage. Dust regularly with a clean microfiber cloth and apply a quality beeswax polish once or twice annually, buffing along the grain direction.
