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.

Chests of drawers from the early 18th century, spanning the Queen Anne and early Georgian eras, are predominantly defined by the use of figure-rich walnut veneers, delicate geometric stringing, crossbanded drawer borders, and cast brass drop handles or backplates set on bracket feet.

These pieces typically feature a carcass made from native softwoods or oak, covered with figured walnut veneers. Drawer linings were commonly constructed from oak or pine using hand-cut dovetail joinery, with cast brass teardrop or bail handles fitted to the drawer fronts.

Authentic pieces exhibit irregular hand-cut dovetails, hand-planed secondary timbers on drawer bases and backboards, genuine wear around lock plates and keyholes, and signs of natural timber shrinkage or fine surface cracking along the veneer grain.

A dark walnut chest serves as an anchor piece in contemporary spaces. Position it against light neutral or richly painted walls, and pair the warm timber tone with modern abstract artwork, ceramic lamps, or minimalist metal accessories to create an eclectic contrast.

Keep the timber away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent shrinkage and fading. Clean surfaces gently with a soft microfiber cloth and apply a high-grade natural beeswax polish sparingly once or twice a year to preserve the original patina.
