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

Originating in the 17th and 18th centuries, the English dresser base served as a functional piece of storage in country kitchens and dining halls for preparing food and storing household linens. Over time, these pieces evolved into key interior furniture items, often painted to match surrounding decor or updated across generations.

Traditional English country dressers were typically constructed from domestic softwoods like pine, or hardwoods like oak and elm. Paint was applied both as a protective layer and a decorative finish, often held together with mortise and tenon joinery and fitted with brass or iron hardware.

Authentic pieces display evidence of historical craftsmanship, such as hand-cut dovetail joints on drawers, hand-planed backboards, and natural timber shrinkage over time. Genuine painted finishes often show layered paint history, subtle wear around handles and edges, and natural craquelure rather than uniform distressing.

A painted dresser base provides structural balance and texture when placed against clean, modern walls. Styling the top with contemporary ceramics, framed artwork, or minimalist lamps creates a harmonious contrast between historical character and modern aesthetics.

Dust the surface regularly with a soft, dry microfibre cloth. Avoid chemical solvents, harsh detergents, or saturated cloths that can strip or soften historic paint finishes, and keep the furniture away from direct heat sources to prevent timber movement.
