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 bow front chest of drawers features a convex curved facade, popularised in the late 18th and early 19th centuries to add softness and visual dimension to traditional bedroom storage.

These chests traditionally feature figured walnut veneers applied over solid timber carcasses such as pine or oak, accented with brass drop handles and crossbanded drawer borders.

Authentic pieces feature hand-cut dovetail joints inside the drawer linings, natural variation in the bookmatched veneer grain, and hand-cast brass hardware with original lock mechanisms.

Position the chest as a focal piece alongside minimalist artwork, contemporary table lamps, or neutral upholstered textiles to contrast the rich wood grain.

Dust surfaces regularly with a soft dry cloth and apply a high-quality beeswax polish along the grain annually, keeping the wood away from direct heat sources and sunlight.
