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

A lowboy is a small table fitted with drawers, originally created in the 18th century during the William and Mary, Queen Anne, and Georgian periods. Designed primarily as a dressing table or side table, it features a kneehole design and typically stands on four carved legs.

Georgian lowboys were crafted using native hardwoods such as cherrywood, walnut, oak, and mahogany. Construction techniques included hand-cut dovetail drawer joints, solid plank tops, hand-carved legs, and cast brass drop handles with decorative backplates.

Authentic 18th-century lowboys display hand-saw marks, irregular dovetail joints, original iron or wooden drawer runners showing wear, and uneven oxidisation on the underside. Original brass hardware will exhibit subtle variations from hand-casting rather than modern uniformity.

An antique lowboy functions effectively as a hall console, bedside table, or compact writing desk. Positioning it in a foyer or living room creates an elegant focal point that contrasts warm timber tones against contemporary wall colours and minimal decor.

Maintain cherrywood by applying a high-grade beeswax polish once or twice a year to nourish the timber and protect the original patina. Keep the piece away from direct heat sources and direct sunlight to prevent timber shrinkage, cracking, or severe colour fading.
