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

Scottish cabinetmaking in the 19th century often featured grand proportions, deep drawers, and distinct architectural mouldings such as gadrooned cornices and carved acanthus corbels. High-grade timbers like walnut and mahogany were favoured, combining robust storage capacity with refined decorative hand-carving.

Victorian chests were primarily constructed using solid hardwoods or thick timber veneers over pine or oak carcases. Solid brass drawer pulls, hand-cut dovetail joints, and cast iron lock mechanisms were standard structural components of the period.

Authentic 19th-century pieces display asymmetrical hand-cut dovetail joints on drawer linings, hand-planed backboards, and authentic age marks around original keyholes and handles. Natural shrinkage along wood grain lines over time also indicates genuine age.

A substantial antique chest functions well as a focal piece in a hallway, bedroom, or living area, balancing neutral modern backdrops with rich wood tones. Pairing the natural grain of walnut with contemporary artwork, textured ceramics, or modern lighting creates a balanced design contrast.

Maintain walnut furniture by dusting regularly with a dry, soft cloth and applying a high-grade beeswax polish once or twice a year following the timber grain. Keep the item away from direct sunlight and radiators to prevent wood warping, drying, or colour fading.
