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.

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 in the mid-18th century from cabinetmaker Thomas Chippendale, this style is defined by solid mahogany construction, elegant proportions, carved details, and classic hardware such as brass swan-neck handles.

These chests are primarily constructed from solid mahogany or mahogany veneers, often incorporating pine or oak secondary woods for drawer linings, complemented by cast brass handles and escutcheons.

Authentic period pieces feature hand-cut dovetail joints, oak or pine drawer bottoms running front-to-back, original cast brass fittings, and signs of hand-planing on the back paneling and interior surfaces.

Position the piece as a focal anchor in a hallway, bedroom, or living room, balancing its rich dark wood tones with neutral wall colours, contemporary table lamps, and minimalistic decorative accessories.

Dust regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and apply a quality beeswax polish once or twice a year, keeping the wood away from direct sunlight, central heating radiators, and damp environments to prevent cracking or warping.
