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 stand, also known as a lowboy or elevated chest, is a historic storage vessel elevated on legs, originating in seventeenth-century Europe. The configuration elevates drawers to an ergonomic height while incorporating decorative carved bases and aprons.

Pieces from this era typically employ walnut or burr walnut veneers laid over solid oak or pine carcases. Accent elements frequently feature brass handles, turned or carved timber legs, and hand-cut dovetail drawer joinery.

Authentic pieces display hand-sawn drawer linings, uneven dovetail joints, and naturally aged timber oxidisation inside the drawers. Examining the underside reveals hand-carved joinery marks and historical wear patterns along the legs and stretchers.

Position the piece as a focal point against neutral walls to highlight the figure of the burr walnut veneer. Combine it with contemporary artwork or minimalist brass table lamps to bridge traditional craftsmanship with modern design schemes.

Dust regularly using a soft, dry microfibre cloth, and apply a high-quality beeswax polish annually to nourish the timber veneer. Keep the item away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent shrinkage, cracking, or bleaching of the natural wood grain.
