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.
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.
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.

A George III secretaire tallboy is an 18th-century piece of case furniture consisting of a double chest of drawers, where one drawer incorporates a drop-front or pull-out writing desk fitted with small drawers and pigeonholes.

These pieces were typically constructed using solid and veneered mahogany, oak or pine drawer linings, hand-cut dovetail joints, and cast brass hardware such as swan-neck handles and keyhole escutcheons.

Authentic pieces feature hand-sawn timber marks, hand-cut dovetail joinery, period-correct brass drop handles, dentil or blind-fretwork cornices, and ogee or bracket feet consistent with late 18th-century English cabinetry.

Position the tallboy against a neutral or muted backdrop to balance its visual weight, and pair it with contemporary lighting or modern artwork to create a balanced blend of traditional and modern design elements.

Dust regularly with a soft dry cloth and apply a high-quality beeswax polish once or twice a year, ensuring the piece is positioned away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent timber movement and fading.
