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 late 17th-century England, William and Mary style furniture is defined by Dutch and French influences, featuring delicate proportions, elaborate marquetry, turned bun feet, and rich wood veneers such as walnut.

These pieces typically feature burr walnut veneers laid over a pine or oak carcass, complemented by intricate marquetry inlays made from contrasting woods, along with engraved brass teardrop or swing handles.

Authentic late 17th-century chests display hand-cut dovetail joints, thick hand-sawn veneers, original brass escutcheons with split-pin fixings, and traditional bun feet, often showing natural wood shrinkage.

Integrate the chest into a neutral hallway or living space as a focal point, pairing its detailed marquetry with minimalist modern artwork or simple ceramic accents to create visual contrast.

Keep the chest away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent veneer lifting and fading; apply a high-quality beeswax polish sparingly once or twice a year, buffing gently along the grain.
