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 cabinet on chest, often referred to as a tallboy or chest-on-chest variant, is a two-part storage unit comprising an upper cupboard section resting atop a lower chest of drawers.

These pieces typically feature solid hardwoods such as walnut, oak, or mahogany, faced with decorative burr veneers, marquetry inlays, and cast gilt-bronze (ormolu) mounts.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-cut dovetail drawer joinery, cast brass or gilt-bronze hardware, natural patination on timber surfaces, and serpentine or bombe silhouettes characteristic of the era.

A walnut cabinet on chest serves as a focal storage piece in a formal living room, hallway, or bedroom, contrasting effectively against neutral wall finishes and minimalist contemporary accents.

Dust surfaces regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and apply a high-quality beeswax polish sparingly once or twice a year to protect the timber and maintain the sheen.
