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

The tallboy emerged in the eighteenth century as a response to the need for efficient vertical storage in domestic interiors. Originally constructed as a chest-on-chest or cabinet on legs, the design evolved through the Georgian and Edwardian eras into twentieth-century revivals featuring distinctive veneers and decorative aprons.

Pieces from this period frequently feature high-figured burr walnut veneers applied over solid timber cores, such as pine or mahogany. Additional structural elements include cast brass handles, dovetail joinery on drawers, and hand-carved legs.

Authentic period pieces exhibit age-appropriate wear to internal drawer runners, original brass drop handles with natural patina, and book-matched burr walnut veneers across the drawer fronts and doors. The interior drawers typically display fine dovetail construction and natural wood oxidisation.

A burr walnut tallboy serves as a grounding focal point when positioned against muted neutral walls or contemporary wallpaper. The rich wood tone pairs effectively with tailored textiles, brass lighting fixtures, and modern artwork to balance traditional and contemporary elements.

Burr walnut veneers should be dusted regularly with a soft dry cloth and treated periodically with a high-quality beeswax polish. Avoid placing the piece in direct sunlight or adjacent to heat sources, which can cause veneer lift, cracking, or fading of the wood tone.
