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

Originating in the 18th century, the chest on chest, or tallboy, was designed to provide extensive vertical storage while minimising the floor space required in a room. These pieces were traditionally crafted in two separate sections to make transport easier upstairs and between living quarters.

Authentic tallboys often feature hardwood frames faced with figured timber veneers such as burr walnut, mahogany, or oak. Secondary woods like pine or oak are typically used for drawer linings, complemented by cast brass backplates and drop handles.

Authentic period examples exhibit hand-cut dovetail joints, original oak or pine drawer bottoms with grain running front-to-back, and natural wear patterns on the drawer runners. The veneer should display age-appropriate patination and subtle wood movement rather than uniform modern finishes.

A tallboy functions well as a focal point in a bedroom, dressing room, or wide hallway where vertical height is needed. Modern styling typically balances the heavy timber mass with light-coloured walls, minimal contemporary artwork, or paired table lamps.

Keep the piece away from direct sunlight and central heating radiators to prevent veneer cracking or lifting. Regular dusting with a soft cloth and occasional applications of a high-quality beeswax paste will preserve the timber moisture and natural lustre.
