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 bowfront chest of drawers features a gently curved convex front facade, popularised in English cabinetmaking during the late Georgian and Regency periods to soften room lines and expand storage capacity.

These chests were typically constructed from solid hardwoods like mahogany or softwoods like pine, finished with hand-applied mineral-based paints and fitted with cast brass hardware.

Authentic period chests display hand-cut dovetail joints inside the drawers, irregular hand-planed backboards, original keyhole escutcheons, and natural wear patterns on the painted finish.

A painted bowfront chest functions well as a focal statement piece in a hallway, bedroom, or living room, paired with contemporary artwork, neutral textiles, or modern lighting to create contrast.

Dust regularly with a soft, dry microfibre cloth, avoid applying harsh chemical polishes or abrasive cleaners to the original painted surface, and keep the piece away from direct heat sources to prevent wood shrinkage.
