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.
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.
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.

A serpentine chest of drawers features a subtle wave-like front profile, convex in the centre and concave at the ends, popularised during the 18th-century Georgian era.

These pieces typically feature solid mahogany or flame mahogany veneers, secondary timbers such as oak or pine for drawer linings, and cast brass handles.

Authentic period chests exhibit hand-cut dovetail joints, original brass keyhole escutcheons, hand-planed back panels, and natural wood shrinkage consistent with age.

Position the chest as a focal piece in a hallway or bedroom, paired with modern abstract artwork above and simple ceramics to balance traditional craftsmanship with contemporary lines.

Dust regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and apply a beeswax polish annually along the grain, keeping the piece away from direct sunlight and heat sources.
