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

The two-short-over-three-long drawer layout became a standard British furniture configuration during the Georgian era. Designed for optimal wardrobe organisation, smaller upper drawers held accessories, while progressively deeper lower drawers stored folded linens and heavy garments.

Cabinetmakers typically constructed the outer carcass from dense mahogany timber, often utilizing flame mahogany veneers on drawer fronts for decorative grain symmetry. Secondary timbers such as oak or pine were used for drawer linings, complemented by cast brass hardware.

Authentic period examples feature hand-cut dovetail joints, oak or pine secondary drawer linings, and hand-planed back panels. Unpolished brass handles with original fixing bolts and uneven, hand-sawn construction marks beneath drawers further indicate historical authenticity.

A dark timber chest of drawers provides a grounded focal point against modern neutral walls. Balance the rich wood tones by styling the top surface with contemporary ceramics, minimalist table lamps, or modern abstract artwork.

Maintain mahogany timber by applying a high-quality beeswax polish twice yearly along the wood grain. Position the furniture away from direct heat sources and direct sunlight to prevent timber shrinkage, veneer splitting, and finish fading.
