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.

FAQs

Produced during the reign of King George III from 1760 to 1820, these pieces are characterised by classical proportions, symmetry, and fine cabinetmaking. They typically utilise solid mahogany or mahogany veneers, featuring clean moulding, cockbeaded drawer edges, and graduated drawer layouts.

The exterior primary timber was predominantly Cuban or West Indian mahogany, prized for its density and rich figure. Secondary timbers for drawer linings and backboards included pine, oak, or tulipwood, held together by hand-cut dovetail joints and accented with brass or turned timber handles.

Authentic period pieces display hand-sawn drawer linings with irregular dovetail joints, signs of natural wood shrinkage along drawer bottoms, and hand-planed backboards. Original brass escutcheons and lock mechanisms should show age-appropriate oxidisation and wear consistent with historic usage.

Integrate the dark timber against neutral, light-toned walls to create visual balance. Pair the traditional woodwork with modern artwork or minimalist ceramic accessories above the chest to blend historic character with modern design.

Apply a high-quality beeswax paste once or twice a year, buffing gently along the wood grain. Keep the furniture away from direct heat sources and direct sunlight to prevent timber movement, drying, or fading of the original finish.
