Dealers Notes

Our stock includes early oak and walnut furniture from the 18th century, as well as more formal pieces from the Georgian period. Clocks, barometers and globes are complemented by Colonial cabinets, furniture and early arms. Their scientific instruments, which include early microscopes, telescopes and equipment such as sextants, provide a fascinating insight into the evolution of technology, whilst demonstrating fine artistry and craftsmanship. One of Hansord’s many exhibitions was entitled ‘From simplicity to complexity with a little eccentricity’ and this continues to be the guiding mantra behind their collection today.

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 18th century, the linen press was designed as a two-part storage cabinet to store household linens and clothing. The upper section typically features double doors enclosing pull-out trays or slides, positioned above a lower section of drawers.

These pieces were constructed using primary woods such as solid mahogany and flame mahogany veneers, often lined with oak or pine. Key features include hand-cut dovetail joints, hand-planed backboards, and cast brass hardware.

Authentic pieces display evidence of hand-tooling, including irregular saw marks on backboards and drawer bottoms, hand-cut dovetails, original brass escutcheons, and minor timber shrinkage consistent with natural aging.

A linen press serves as a focal storage piece in a principal bedroom, dressing room, or wide hallway. It pairs effectively with contemporary wall colours, modern upholstery, and natural textiles to ground a room.

Dust the surface regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and apply a clear beeswax polish once or twice a year along the grain. Keep the cabinet away from direct heat sources and direct sunlight to prevent timber movement and finish fading.
