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

Late 18th-century Georgian bow-front chests are defined by a convex curved front facade, clean neoclassical proportions, and refined timber selection, most commonly mahogany.

Primary woods included solid and veneered mahogany, while drawer linings were typically constructed from secondary timbers such as oak or pine using hand-cut dovetail joints.

Authentic pieces feature hand-planed surfaces, irregular hand-cut dovetails on the drawers, period-appropriate drawer lock mechanisms, and natural oxidisation on internal secondary timber.

A Georgian chest of drawers functions effectively as an accent piece in a modern hallway or bedroom, offering warm timber tones that contrast with modern neutral wall colours.

Preservation involves regular dusting with a dry microfibre cloth and occasional applications of high-grade beeswax polish, avoiding direct heat sources and direct sunlight.
