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

Named after the Duke of Wellington, a Wellington chest is a tall, narrow 19th-century chest of drawers characterised by a hinged vertical flap or pilaster that locks all drawers simultaneously.

Victorian Wellington chests were typically crafted from solid timbers and fine veneers such as mahogany, oak, walnut, or satin birch, finished with turned wooden drawer handles.

Authentic examples feature a side-hinged locking pilaster with a keyhole, hand-cut dovetail drawer joints, turned timber knobs, and a heavy moulded plinth base.

Due to its compact footprint and vertical stature, a Wellington chest fits well in narrow alcoves, hallways, or master bedrooms paired with neutral wall finishes and subtle brass lighting.

Dust the timber surfaces regularly with a dry, lint-free cloth and apply a natural beeswax polish twice a year to preserve the original finish and wood grain.
