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.

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 George III style serpentine chest of drawers is defined by its subtle wave-like front profile, combining convex and concave curves. Originating in 18th-century England, this design often features high-grade mahogany veneers, carved canted corners, and classical brass pull handles.

Pieces of this style are predominantly constructed using solid mahogany and flame mahogany veneers over secondary timbers such as pine or oak. Decorative accents typically feature cast brass hardware, hand-cut dovetail joints, and hand-carved corner mouldings.

Waring & Gillow pieces frequently carry a stamped mark, brass plate, or paper label on the top drawer edge or back panel. Identification is also supported by precise dovetailing, heavy drawer linings, superior wood selection, and faithful adherence to 18th-century Chippendale proportions.

A serpentine chest serves as a focal point in hallways, bedrooms, or living spaces. Styling typically involves placing contemporary artwork or a gilded mirror directly above the flat surface, balanced with table lamps or modern ceramics to contrast with the rich dark wood.

Preservation requires regular dusting with a soft, dry microfibre cloth and applying a high-quality beeswax polish along the grain twice a year. To prevent timber movement or finish fading, keep the item away from direct radiators and prolonged sunlight exposure.
