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.

FAQs

Georgian chests of drawers, crafted between 1714 and 1830, are defined by classical proportions, symmetry, and the primary use of dense mahogany timber. They often feature hand-cut dovetail joints, brass swan-neck handles, bracket feet, and occasionally serpentine or bow fronts.

The exterior casing and drawer fronts were predominantly made from solid or veneered mahogany, imported from the West Indies or Central America. Secondary timbers used for internal drawer linings and backboards typically included Scots pine or native English oak.

Authentic pieces feature uneven, hand-sawn dovetail joints with narrow pins, hand-planed timber backs, and drawer bottoms with wood grain running side-to-side rather than front-to-back. Original cast brass hardware will show signs of hand-finishing and subtle oxidisation.

A dark timber chest acts as a grounding focal point when positioned against contemporary neutral walls. Pairing polished mahogany with modern art, textured linen textiles, and clean-lined lighting creates a balanced contrast between traditional craftsmanship and modern design.

Dust regularly with a dry, soft microfibre cloth along the wood grain direction. Apply a natural beeswax polish twice a year to preserve the timber patina, and position the piece away from direct sunlight and radiators to prevent timber shrinkage and veneer cracking.
