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

Chests of drawers from the late 17th century and Baroque era are distinguished by heavy architectural mouldings, geometric panel drawer fronts, bold bun feet, and rich walnut veneers or solid timber construction.

These chests were constructed primarily using solid walnut or walnut veneers applied over oak or pine carcasses, paired with hand-cast brass drop handles and iron locks.

Authentic period pieces feature hand-cut dovetail joints, thick hand-sawn timber backboards, natural wood shrinkage over time, and authentic surface patination around brass escutcheons.

Position the piece as an anchor in an entryway or living room, styling the top surface with contemporary art or ceramic vessels to create a balanced contrast between historic craftsmanship and modern design.

Dust regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and apply high-grade beeswax paste twice yearly to nourish the timber, keeping the piece away from direct heat sources and excess humidity.
