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.

  • ObjectChests of Drawers
  • Period19th century
  • StyleVictorian

  • ColourWarm Golden Brown
  • MotifsFiddleback grain, Turned wooden knobs, Plinth base, Two over three configuration

This Victorian chest of drawers comprises a two short over three graduated long drawer arrangement, constructed from stained birch with rich fiddleback grain veneers. The warm golden brown timber has a honey-coloured finish, displaying wonderful movement across the clean façade. Each drawer retains its original dark brown turned wooden knob handles and an individual brass keyhole escutcheon. A moulded edge runs along the top, while the entire structure is raised on a solid plinth base. Measuring 105 cm in height, 105 cm in width, and 51 cm in depth, this compact storage item provides generous capacity. The traditional English country house design suits domestic placement in a bedroom, hall, or living space today, offering both practical utility and decorative character.

FAQs

Victorian chests of drawers typically feature sturdy timber construction, classic proportions such as a two short over three long drawer arrangement, and solid plinth or turned feet bases.

Cabinetmakers frequently utilised native hardwoods such as birch, oak, and pine, often applying rich stains or polishes to highlight intricate grain patterns such as fiddleback or flame figures.

Authentic pieces generally display hand-cut dovetail joints within the drawer boxes, original brass keyhole escutcheons, solid wood back panels, and subtle wear surrounding knobs and base edges.

A warm timber chest provides contrast and visual depth when paired with neutral walls, minimalist artwork, or textured soft furnishings in an entryway or bedroom.

Keep the timber away from direct heat sources and bright sunlight to prevent drying, and apply a high-quality beeswax polish periodically along the direction of the grain.
