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

Originating in the late 18th century, a George III mahogany washstand was designed to support a basin and water pitcher for daily personal grooming prior to modern plumbing. These tables often feature raised gallery backs to contain splashes alongside frieze drawers for storing toilet accessories.

Georgian washstands were crafted from solid dense timbers such as Honduran or Cuban mahogany, valued for stability and deep colour. Key structural features include hand-dovetailed drawer joints, turned or tapered legs, and original cast brass knobs or pulls.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-sawn timber marks, slightly irregular hand-cut dovetails, and genuine patination on unvarnished surfaces like drawer linings. Slender hand-turned legs, original brass hardware, and age-appropriate wear further indicate period authenticity.

An antique washstand functions well in contemporary settings as a hallway console, side table, bedside table, or compact writing vanity. Modern ceramics, table lamps, or framed artwork placed on the top surface create an effective contrast against the historic mahogany.

Dust the timber regularly with a clean, dry, lint-free cloth and apply a thin layer of natural beeswax polish annually in the direction of the grain. Keep the item away from direct heat sources and areas with significant humidity changes to protect the wood.
