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

Originating as a seven-drawer chest designed to store a weeks worth of garments, the 19th-century semainier evolved into a favoured tallboy design characterised by vertical proportions, figured timber veneers, and compact floor footprint utilisation.

Craftsmen selected highly figured burr walnut veneers applied over solid timber framing, incorporating hand-cut dovetail drawer joints, brass keyhole escutcheons, and intricate crossbanded borders.

Authentic 19th-century pieces display natural age-related patination, hand-cut dovetailing on drawer construction, original steel or brass lock mechanisms, and subtle shrinkage in veneer panels across solid wood substrate bases.

Position a tall chest in a neutral hallway or master suite to add vertical interest and tactile warmth, pairing it with contemporary artwork or architectural lamps to balance traditional craftsmanship with modern design.

Keep timber away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent veneer lifting or fading, dusting regularly with a soft dry cloth and applying beeswax polish annually along the wood grain.
