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 serpentine chest of drawers features a subtle wave-like or double-curved front, curving outwards in the centre and inwards at the sides. Originating in eighteenth-century Europe, this silhouette became a signature hallmark of Chippendale and Hepplewhite furniture designs.

Primary timber typically consisted of high-grade mahogany, walnut, or satinwood veneers applied over oak or pine carcases. Traditional dovetailed drawer joinery and cast brass handles were standard features of period cabinetmaking.

Authentic period pieces display hand-cut dovetail joints, hand-sawn secondary timbers, and operational wear around the drawer runners and keyholes. The serpentine curve should be smoothly carved or shaped, featuring brass hardware with appropriate age-related patination.

Position the chest as a focal piece in a hallway, bedroom, or living space, balancing its curved silhouette with structured wall art or a mirror above. Complement the polished timber with contemporary ceramics, metallic table lamps, or minimal sculptural accents.

Apply a high-quality beeswax polish once or twice a year to preserve the wood finish and prevent drying out. Keep the item away from direct heat sources and sunlight, and wipe dust away with a soft, lint-free microfibre cloth.
