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 cabinet on chest is an 18th-century English storage piece comprising an upper double-door cupboard mounted atop a lower chest of drawers, typically crafted from burr walnut during the early Georgian era.

Pieces from this period frequently feature figured burr walnut veneers applied over pine or oak carcases, complete with brass escutcheons, hand-dovetailed drawer construction, and turned timber feet.

Authentic early 18th-century pieces display hand-sawn wood construction, thick surface veneers, hand-cut dovetail joints, period-appropriate brass hardware, and original turned bun feet.

Position the piece as a focal point in a hallway, dining room, or principal bedroom, balancing its visual weight with neutral wall finishes and contemporary architectural lighting.

Keep walnut cabinets away from direct heat sources and bright sunlight to prevent veneer shrinkage or colour fading, and apply beeswax sparingly once or twice a year.
