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 chest on chest, also known as a tallboy, is a furniture piece comprising two stacked chests of drawers designed to offer maximised vertical storage while retaining a compact footprint. Popularised in the eighteenth century, these pieces were traditionally executed in hardwoods such as walnut or mahogany.

These pieces usually feature a secondary timber framework, such as pine or oak, overlaid with highly figured burr walnut veneers. The drawer construction includes hand-cut dovetail joints, complemented by brass drop handles and escutcheons.

Authentic period examples display hand-sawn drawer linings, hand-cut dovetail joints, and characteristic natural patination along high-touch surfaces. Look for book-matched burr walnut grain configurations and natural wear around keyholes and base mouldings.

In contemporary spaces, a tall walnut chest serves as an architectural anchor in a bedroom, hallway, or dressing room. Pair the warm wood tones with neutral wall colours, linen textiles, and understated artwork to contrast the detailed wood grain.

Keep the furniture away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent drying or fading of the veneer. Dust regularly with a soft dry cloth and apply a high-quality beeswax polish twice a year to preserve the moisture and natural lustre of the wood grain.
