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

Georgian chests of drawers from the 18th century typically feature symmetrical proportions, solid mahogany or walnut construction, hand-cut dovetail drawer joints, and brass swan-neck handles. Many compact examples incorporate a brushing slide above four graduated drawers supported on shaped bracket feet.

These pieces were constructed primarily from dense mahogany timber, selected for its rich colour and durability. Secondary woods such as pine or oak were commonly utilised for internal drawer linings, back panels, and structural frames.

Authentic pieces exhibit evidence of period construction, such as hand-sawn timber marks, slightly irregular dovetail joints, and original brass hardware showing natural surface oxidisation. Drawer bottoms typically feature hand-planed timber boards running parallel or perpendicular to the drawer front.

A compact mahogany chest functions effectively as a nightstand, hallway storage cabinet, or living room accent piece. Placing dark timber against neutral wall surfaces or modern lighting accents provides a clean aesthetic contrast between historic craft and contemporary design.

Dust the surface regularly using a soft dry cloth and apply a high-quality beeswax polish occasionally to protect the wood finish. Position the chest away from direct heat sources and radiators to prevent timber shrinkage or veneer movement.
