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

A bow front chest of drawers features a gently convex or curved front facade, a design popularised during the late 18th and early 19th centuries in Britain. This form softened the traditional rectangular silhouette of bedroom storage while maximizing drawer depth in the centre.

These chests were constructed primarily from solid mahogany or oak for the internal framing and drawer linings, with figure-matched flame mahogany veneers applied to the curved drawer fronts. Typical joinery included hand-cut dovetails, cockbeaded drawer borders, and turned wooden knobs or brass handles.

Authentic period pieces feature hand-cut dovetail joints with subtle irregularities, secondary timber such as pine or oak on internal drawer structures, and age-consistent shrinkage or surface wear along veneer seams. Hand-planed backboards and original keyhole escutcheons also indicate period construction.

Position the chest as a focal point in a hallway, bedroom, or living area, balancing dark timber tones against contemporary wall treatments or neutral upholstery. Placing modern lamps, sculptural ceramics, or minimalist artwork on the top surface creates a balanced contrast between historic craft and modern design.

Dust surfaces regularly with a dry, soft cloth and apply a high-grade beeswax polish once or twice per year along the direction of the grain. Keep the furniture away from direct heat sources, radiators, and prolonged sunlight to prevent veneer cracking or timber warping.
