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 serpentine chest features a distinctive undulating front shaped with a central convex curve flanked by concave sides, a form popularized during the 18th-century Georgian era.

Primary woods included mahogany, walnut, and oak, complemented by hand-cut dovetail joinery and cast brass hardware such as swan-neck handles and decorative escutcheons.

Authentic pieces from this period display hand-sawn timber marks, irregular dovetail joints on drawer linings, natural wood shrinkage along backboards, and period-appropriate brass fittings.

Positioning the chest as a focal point in an entryway, dining area, or bedroom allows its dark wood tones and curved front to contrast against modern artwork or contemporary wall paint.

Dust regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and apply a clear beeswax polish annually, avoiding direct heat sources, humid environments, and liquid cleaners.
