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 tallboy, often synonymous with a chest-on-chest or highboy, traditionally consists of two stacked chests of drawers designed to maximize vertical storage while conserving floor space. Originating in the 18th century, these pieces evolved through the Georgian and Edwardian eras as staple storage furniture for bedrooms and dressing rooms.

Early 20th-century examples were predominantly constructed using mahogany, walnut, or oak veneers over solid pine or mahogany carcasses. Construction features typically include hand-cut dovetail drawer joints, solid brass swan-neck or drop handles, and structural elements like bracket feet or plinth bases.

Authentic pieces exhibit period craftsmanship, such as secondary timber linings inside drawers, drawer runners showing historic friction wear, and genuine brass hardware displaying natural patination or oxidisation. The surface finish of authentic mahogany exhibits deep wood grain variation consistent with age.

A mahogany tallboy functions effectively in a bedroom, hallway, or home office to introduce warm timber tones and vertical proportions. Pairing the dark wood with neutral wall paint, modern lamps, and structured artwork provides a balanced contrast between historic furniture and modern design.

To preserve the finish, clean surfaces with a dry, lint-free cloth and apply a clear beeswax polish once or twice per year following the direction of the wood grain. Keep mahogany furniture away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent timber warping and finish bleaching.
