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 chest on stand, developed during the late 17th and early 18th centuries in Britain, elevated storage drawers off damp floor surfaces while introducing decorative leg supports such as cabriole or turned legs.

Furniture from the early Georgian era typically features solid English oak with hand-cut dovetail joints, hand-planed panelled sides, moulded drawer fronts, and solid brass drop handles secured with split pins.

Authentic period pieces exhibit uneven hand-sawn markings, hand-carved mortise and tenon joinery held with wooden pegs, dark patination inside drawer cavities, and historical wear along the base and feet.

A Georgian chest on stand adds visual grounding and historical contrast when positioned in an entry hallway, bedroom, or living area, serving as statement storage alongside modern artwork or lighting.

Maintain the timber by applying high-quality beeswax wax polish once or twice annually, rubbing along the wood grain, keeping the piece away from direct sunlight, and avoiding proximity to central heating radiators.
