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

Named after the Duke of Wellington, a Wellington chest is a tall, narrow 19th-century British chest of drawers secured by a hinged side pilaster that locks all drawers simultaneously.

These chests were typically constructed using fine hardwoods such as walnut, mahogany, or rosewood, featuring hand-cut dovetail drawer joints, brass locks, and turned wooden knobs.

Authentic pieces feature a characteristic side locking bar or pilaster secured with a key, multi-drawer tallboy proportions, hand-sawn timber backing, and traditional dovetail joinery.

Position the tall piece in a hallway, library, or bedroom alcove, pairing its dark timber tones with neutral wall palettes and understated contemporary decor to highlight its architectural profile.

Dust regularly with a soft cloth, apply a high-quality beeswax polish annually along the grain, and position the furniture away from direct heat sources or sunlight to prevent timber movement and finish fading.
