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

Named after the Duke of Wellington, a Wellington chest is a tall, narrow chest of drawers characterised by a hinged side flap or locking bar that secures all drawers simultaneously when locked.

Victorian Wellington chests were typically constructed from solid mahogany, walnut, or oak, featuring dovetail drawer joints, brass lock mechanisms, and turned wooden handles.

Authentic pieces feature hand-cut dovetail drawer joints, a functional hinged side locking bar with an integrated brass lock, period-correct carved corbels, and natural timber patination.

Its slender vertical footprint makes it ideal for placement in narrow hallways, home office alcoves, or dressing rooms where floor space is limited.

Apply a high-grade beeswax polish twice annually following the direction of the grain, dust regularly with a dry microfibre cloth, and avoid positioning near direct heat sources.
