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

George II walnut furniture typically features figured or burr walnut veneers, crossbanded or featherbanded drawer borders, brass drop or swan-neck handles, and bracket feet. Pieces from this era often incorporate balance, symmetry, and central cupboard doors within chest arrangements.

Chests from this period were predominantly constructed with solid oak or pine carcases veneered in figured walnut. Hand-cut dovetail joints were standard for drawer construction, while back panels and drawer linings were traditionally split or hand-sawn wood.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-cut dovetail joints, shrinkage gaps along wide timber panels, hand-forged iron nails, and original brass fitments with internal cast mark variations. Natural oxidisation and patination on unfinished back and base boards also indicate genuine age.

Place the piece as a focal point against neutral walls in a hallway, bedroom, or living space to let the natural wood grain stand out. Balance the dark timber with contemporary artwork, clean-lined table lamps, or minimal ceramic decorative items placed on top.

Dust regularly with a soft, dry lint-free cloth and apply a high-quality beeswax polish once or twice a year to preserve the timber. Keep the furniture away from direct sunlight, radiators, and areas with fluctuating humidity to prevent veneer lifting or wood split formation.
