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 Georgian style walnut chest of drawers from 1920 displays a serpentine front with crossbanded inlay and feather banding. Rich warm brown tones highlight the natural grain of the timber across the top surface and four graduated drawers. Cast brass drop handles sit below ornate keyhole escutcheons on each drawer front, while the whole piece stands securely on bracket feet. Measuring 81 cm high, 76 cm wide and 48 cm deep, this practical storage item fits easily into a bedroom, hallway or living area. The four spacious drawers provide ample room for clothes, linens or everyday items while bringing traditional English country house character to interior spaces.

FAQs

A serpentine front walnut chest of drawers is a piece of case furniture featuring a characteristic undulating, s-shaped curved front facade, typically constructed using decorative walnut veneers over an hardwood or softwood carcass.

Traditional construction relies on solid oak or pine framing faced with burr or figured walnut veneers, often enhanced with boxwood or holly crossbanding, and fitted with cast brass handles and escutcheons.

Authentic pieces feature hand-cut dovetail joints inside the drawers, original brass hardware with natural oxidisation, drawer bottoms showing appropriate age shrinkage, and irregular hand-planed surfaces on unexposed timber.

Position the piece as an anchor in a bedroom or hallway, pairing the warm wood tones with modern neutral wall colours, understated contemporary table lamps, and minimalistic framed artwork above.

Dust regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth and apply a high-quality beeswax polish once or twice a year, avoiding modern aerosol sprays, direct sunlight, and extreme humidity variations.
