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.

This Victorian gentleman's wardrobe dates to 1860 and follows a breakfront form constructed from burr walnut timber, glass and oak. The warm brown surfaces display a distinctive burr walnut veneer with rich figuring, complemented by stepped mouldings along the top cornice and a solid plinth base. A central arched mirrored door sits between two flanking panelled side doors, accented with small round wooden pull knobs. The piece measures 221 cm high, 239 cm wide and 71 cm deep, and dismantles into five separate sections for transport. Interior fittings include seven graduated mahogany-lined drawers fitted with original brass inset handles, accompanied by a clothes rail, a sliding tray and dedicated hanging space. This large storage piece suits placement in a master bedroom or dressing room, providing ample hanging capacity and compartmentalised drawer storage for garments.

FAQs

During the Victorian period, cabinetmakers used highly figured burr walnut veneers cut from tree growths displaying intricate grain patterns, typically arranging them in breakfront or triple-section wardrobe configurations.

Craftsmen traditionally constructed these pieces using solid pine or oak carcases covered in hand-cut burr walnut veneers, incorporating hand-dovetailed joints, solid back panels, and silvered glass mirror plates.

Authentic 19th-century examples feature hand-cut dovetails, irregular back panels with hand-saw marks, period brass locks, and subtle surface imperfections in the original mirror glass.

Position the wardrobe as a focal architectural feature in a dressing room or master bedroom, balancing its visual weight with neutral wall tones and contemporary soft furnishings.

Maintain burr walnut veneer by keeping the furniture away from direct heat sources and sunlight, dusting with a microfiber cloth, and applying beeswax polish annually.
