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 chest on chest, also known as a tallboy, is a piece of case furniture consisting of two stacked chests of drawers designed in the eighteenth century to maximise vertical storage space.

They were primarily constructed from solid and veneered hardwoods such as mahogany or walnut, featuring hand-dovetailed drawer linings made of oak or pine and brass hardware.

Authentic Georgian examples typically feature hand-cut dovetail joints, original oak or pine drawer linings, cast brass backplates with swan-neck handles, and natural age wear around the bracket feet and keyholes.

Position the piece as a focal point in a bedroom or hallway, balancing its substantial visual weight with clean-lined contemporary artwork, neutral wall colours, and simple ceramic decorative accents.

Dust regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and apply a high-quality beeswax polish once or twice a year, keeping the item away from direct heat sources and strong sunlight to prevent timber shrinkage.
