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 Georgian bow-front chest features a gently convex curved front facade, typically constructed between the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. These pieces standardly comprise graduated long drawers with timber veneers, brass hardware, and bracket or splayed feet.

Georgian chests were primarily constructed using mahogany or walnut veneers over native pine or oak frames. Secondary timbers inside drawer linings were usually oak or pine, joined using hand-cut dovetails and completed with cast brass handles.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-cut dovetail drawer joints, hand-planed drawer bases, and uneven timber shrinkage consistent with age. Look for original cast brass drop handles, brass keyhole escutcheons, and historic locks.

Position the chest in an entryway, bedroom, or living area to serve as both functional storage and a focal point. Pair the warm mahogany wood with modern artwork, contemporary ceramic lamps, or minimalist wall mirrors to create visual contrast.

Dust surfaces regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and apply a high-grade beeswax polish once or twice a year to preserve the patina. Keep the piece away from direct sunlight, radiators, and damp environments to prevent timber warping and finish degradation.
