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 chest on chest, also known as a tallboy, is a piece of storage furniture comprising two stacked chests of drawers designed to maximise vertical space within a compact footprint. Popularised in the 18th century, these pieces feature upper and lower sections containing graduated drawers.

Traditional construction typically utilises figured timbers such as walnut, mahogany, or oak, frequently decorated with book-matched veneers, herringbone crossbanding, and marquetry inlays like sunburst patterns. Hardware usually consists of cast brass handles and keyhole escutcheons.

Early 20th century revival pieces often show machine-cut dovetail joints, modern timber drawer linings, and uniform construction techniques, whereas authentic 18th century originals exhibit hand-sawn dovetails, irregular oak or pine drawer linings, and age-related wood shrinkage.

A tallboy acts as a focal point in a hallway, bedroom, or dressing area, pairing well with neutral wall tones and contemporary artwork to create a contrast between historic craftsmanship and modern simplicity.

Preserve the timber finish by placing the chest away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent veneer lifting or fading, and apply a high-quality beeswax polish twice a year using a soft lint-free cloth.
