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.
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.
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.

A William & Mary cabinet on chest is a late seventeenth-century form of storage furniture, typically featuring a double-door upper cupboard section mounted on a chest of drawers, characteristically decorated with figured wood veneers and classical mouldings.

These pieces were predominantly constructed using walnut or burr walnut veneers applied over pine or oak carcases, often incorporating crossbanded borders and brass drop handles or strap hinges.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-cut dovetail joints, thick hand-sawn veneers, solid oak drawer linings, original keyholes with engraved brass escutcheons, and period-appropriate turned bun feet.

Position the piece as a central focal point in a neutral hallway or living space, balancing its dark timber tones and rich figure with understated modern seating and minimal decorative accessories.

Keep the cabinet away from direct heat sources and bright sunlight to prevent veneer movement or fading, and clean the surfaces regularly using a soft cloth and a high-quality natural beeswax polish.
