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 bowfront chest features a convex curved front facade, which gained significant popularity during the Georgian and Victorian periods, offering a softer silhouette than traditional flat-fronted furniture.

These pieces were typically constructed from solid oak or oak veneers over secondary softwoods, utilising hand-cut dovetail joints for the drawers and traditional mortise and tenon joinery for the frame.

Authenticity is identified through hand-cut dovetailing, signs of age-related timber shrinkage, hand-forged or cast brass hardware, and secondary woods consistent with the period of manufacture.

An antique chest of drawers provides functional storage while adding warmth and historical texture, pairing effectively with minimalist contemporary decor or anchoring a traditional room scheme.

Maintain antique oak by keeping it away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent timber splitting, and occasionally apply natural beeswax to nourish the wood finish.
