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.
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.
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.

An 18th-century elm dresser base is a piece of regional English country furniture featuring a long tabletop over shallow drawers, supported on straight legs, originally used in kitchens and dining rooms for serving and storage.

These pieces were constructed from native English elm, featuring hand-dovetailed drawer linings, pegged joints, and solid timber back panels, often finished with brass drop or bail handles.

Authentic pieces display signs of period craftsmanship, such as uneven hand-planed timber surfaces, hand-sawn marks, natural shrinkage around joints, and aged brass hardware with historic patination.

An elm dresser base functions effectively as a hallway console or dining room sideboard, layered with contemporary ceramic table lamps, framed artwork, or decorative glassware to balance period character with modern design.

Dust regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and apply a clear beeswax polish once or twice a year to preserve the timber finish, avoiding placement near direct heat sources to prevent cracking.
