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

A George I secretaire chest is an 18th-century English furniture piece combining upper cupboard storage with lower chest drawers and a drop-down or pull-out writing surface.

Cabinet makers during the George I period primarily utilised figured walnut veneers, oak drawer linings, pine carcases, and hand-cast brass drop handles with engraved escutcheons.

Authentic George I furniture typically features hand-dovetailed drawer joints, feather or herringbone crossbanding, original cast brass plates, and timber patination consistent with 18th-century age.

A secretaire chest functions as a compact home office desk or statement storage unit in a living room, hallway, or study, pairing traditional woodwork with contemporary accent lighting.

Preserve antique walnut by applying a high-quality beeswax polish annually, keeping the piece away from direct heat sources, and maintaining stable ambient humidity to prevent timber movement.
