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 George III tallboy, also known as a chest-on-chest, is an 18th-century storage cabinet consisting of a upper chest mounted on top of a wider lower chest of drawers.

Georgian chest-on-chests were constructed primarily using solid timbers such as oak, mahogany, or walnut, complemented by cast brass swan-neck handles and hand-cut drawer linings.

Authentic pieces exhibit signs of hand-craftsmanship, including hand-sawn dovetail joints, uneven drawer linings, period iron locks, and natural timber shrinkage across wide panels.

A tallboy functions well as a focal piece in a modern bedroom or wide hallway, where warm wood tones contrast effectively against contemporary neutral walls and simple lighting.

Maintain the surface by applying beeswax polish sparingly once or twice a year, and position the furniture away from direct heat sources to prevent timber movement and cracking.
