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

During the Victorian era, mahogany was widely favoured for its durability and rich grain, commonly crafted into bedside cabinets and chests featuring robust construction, simple moulding, and plinth bases.

Nineteenth-century examples feature frame-and-panel construction, hand-cut dovetail drawer joints, brass hardware, and mahogany veneers applied over pine or oak secondary timbers.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-cut dovetails, natural timber shrinkage along drawer bottoms, period-correct brass escutcheons, and signs of historic wear consistent with age.

Flanking a upholstered modern bed with a pair of matching mahogany chests adds balance, while adding contemporary ceramic table lamps creates a thoughtful contrast between historic wood and current design.

Maintain the original finish by dusting regularly with a soft microfiber cloth, applying a small amount of beeswax polish once annually, and keeping the timber clear of direct heat and strong sunlight.
