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.

This 18th-century Georgian chest of drawers is fashioned from oak and finished in a dark brown tone with a visible timber grain. The straight-front piece has a rectangular moulded-edge top above two short drawers and three graduated long drawers, complemented by swan-neck brass handles, pierced brass escutcheons, a moulded base, and bracket feet. The wood shows surface wear, historic marks, scratches, colour variations, and minor use marks. It measures 90 cm high, 80 cm wide, and 44 cm deep. Placed in a bedroom, study, or hallway, this practical chest provides storage while contributing traditional English Country House character to interior spaces. The compact proportions allow it to fit comfortably against walls in living areas or landings, offering a surface for lamps, books, or decorative objects above accessible drawer storage.

FAQs

Georgian oak chests of drawers typically feature symmetrical proportions, solid oak drawer fronts, dovetail joints, bracket feet, and brass hardware such as swan-neck handles or batwing plates.

Primary construction utilized solid timbers such as oak, walnut, or mahogany. Secondary timbers used for drawer linings and backboards frequently included pine or fruitwood, paired with cast brass hardware.

Authentic pieces feature hand-cut dovetail joints, uneven drawer linings, hand-planed back panels, natural wood shrinkage around iron nails or timber pegs, and original brass lock plates or escutcheons.

An antique chest of drawers functions well as a focal storage unit in a bedroom, a dining room server, or an entryway console table, contrasting effectively against contemporary wall finishes.

Apply a clear beeswax polish once or twice a year to nourish the timber and maintain the patina. Keep the furniture away from direct heat sources and high moisture environments to prevent warping.
