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

The chest on chest, often called a tallboy, emerged in the late 17th century and gained popularity during the Queen Anne and Georgian periods, designed to maximise vertical storage space while maintaining a smaller floor footprint.

Authentic period pieces typically feature native oak or pine carcases veneered in highly figured timbers such as walnut or mahogany, complemented by hand-cut dovetail joints, solid brass drop handles, and tongue-and-groove drawer bases.

Authentication involves examining the drawer construction for hand-cut dovetails, checking the timber for period-appropriate tool marks and oxidisation, and inspecting the backboards and drawer linings for timber consistency.

This substantial statement piece serves as an architectural anchor in a bedroom or hallway, allowing modern decor to be balanced by placing minimalist art or simple ceramics on top to contrast with the rich timber grain.

Preservation requires maintaining stable indoor humidity levels away from direct heat sources and sunlight, alongside occasional application of traditional microcrystalline wax to nourish and protect the polished wooden surface.
