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 bachelors chest is a compact form of case furniture introduced in the early 18th century, designed with lower proportions and typically incorporating a pull-out brushing slide or fold-over top for dressing and laying out clothes.

Primary woods usually consisted of dense Cuban or West Indian mahogany, while drawer linings were crafted from secondary woods like pine or oak using hand-cut dovetail joints and original cast brass hardware.

Authentic pieces feature hand-sawn timber construction, hand-cut dovetail drawer joints, original bracket feet, cast brass swan-neck handles, and natural surface wear consistent with age.

Position the piece as a focal point against neutral walls, pairing the dark mahogany tones with contemporary artwork or structured modern ceramics to contrast the traditional woodwork.

Dust regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and apply a quality beeswax polish once or twice a year, keeping the wood away from direct heat sources and high humidity to prevent shrinkage.
