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

Painted furniture gained widespread popularity in 18th and 19th-century Britain, heavily influenced by Continental fashions. Local craftsmen painted softwood timber like pine to simulate costlier woods or added hand-painted borders and strapwork to complement country house interiors.

These chests are typically constructed from native softwoods such as pine or deal, often utilizing oak or fruitwood for internal drawer construction. Features include hand-cut dovetail joints, cast brass handles, and layered oil- or milk-based paint finishes.

Authenticity is indicated by wear patterns in high-touch areas, hand-cut joinery inside the drawers, and aged backboards held by handmade nails. Genuine early paint surfaces show craquelure, natural abrasions, and historical repainting rather than uniform distressing.

A painted chest acts as a focal visual element in contemporary or traditional spaces, providing colour and texture against neutral backdrops. Pairing the piece with contemporary table lamps, modern artwork, or clean-lined mirrors balances period charm with modern aesthetics.

Keep the furniture away from direct heat sources and strong sunlight to prevent paint flaking and wood shrinkage. Dust regularly with a soft, dry microfibre cloth, avoiding harsh chemical cleaners, damp sponges, or modern solvent polishes that strip original paint layers.
