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 secretaire chest of drawers is a dual-purpose piece of furniture featuring multiple storage drawers alongside a pull-out or fall-front top drawer that opens to reveal a compact writing surface and internal pigeonholes.

Craftsmen utilised thin slices of highly figured burr walnut veneer laid over solid timber substrates such as pine or oak, usually accented with cast brass handles and keyhole escutcheons.

Authentic pieces feature hand-cut dovetail drawer joints, original brass lock mechanisms, evidence of natural age-related shrinkage in drawer linings, and hand-cut book-matched veneers.

Position the piece as a focal point in a hallway, bedroom, or home office, pairing its rich wood tones with neutral wall colours and understated modern table lamps.

Dust regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and apply a high-grade beeswax polish once or twice a year, ensuring the piece is kept away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent drying or cracking.
