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.

This 18th century Georgian chest of drawers is constructed from warm brown mahogany with a smooth polished finish and a wave-like serpentine front. The piece comprises four graduated drawers featuring replaced oval brass handles with decorative floral centre medallions and keyholes positioned centrally on each drawer front. It stands upon shaped bracket feet that support the undulating lower apron. The dimensions measure 90 cm high, 97 cm wide, and 57 cm deep. This practical storage unit provides deep drawer capacity suitable for everyday use in a bedroom, hallway, or living room within a traditional interior setting. The robust construction ensures the drawers run freely, and the fitted top drawer offers organised storage space for smaller personal items.

FAQs

A serpentine chest of drawers is a storage cabinet featuring a distinct undulating front facade with a convex centre flanked by concave sides, a form popularized during the Georgian period in eighteenth-century Britain.

Georgian chests of drawers were predominantly constructed using dense hardwoods such as mahogany, oak, and walnut, often featuring flame veneers, hand-cut dovetail drawer joints, pine or oak drawer linings, and cast brass hardware.

Authentic Georgian chests typically feature hand-cut dovetail joints, oak or pine secondary woods, original locks or keyholes, subtle timber shrinkage, historical wear on the drawer runners, and period-correct brass drop handles.

A Georgian serpentine chest serves as a foundational focal point in modern entryways, bedrooms, or living spaces, pairing well with contemporary artwork mounted above and minimalist table lamps.

Maintain mahogany furniture by dusting regularly with a soft lint-free cloth and applying a beeswax polish annually, keeping the piece away from direct sunlight and extreme humidity changes to prevent timber movement.
