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

Stuart period furniture, spanning the seventeenth to early eighteenth century, is defined by solid oak construction, geometric drawer mouldings, turned accents, and rich dark patination. Pieces from this era reflect a transition from utilitarian joinery to decorative architectural panelling.

Early eighteenth-century chests were predominantly constructed from solid native oak, featuring hand-sawn timber, wooden peg joints, and forged iron or cast brass drop handles and escutcheons.

Authentic period pieces exhibit hand-planed surfaces, irregular drawer linings, side-hung drawer runners, hand-cut dovetail or peg joinery, and natural uneven wear on base rails and drawer bottoms.

A dark oak chest provides a grounded, architectural focal point when set against neutral, minimalist walls or paired with modern abstract artwork and soft woven textiles.

Maintain oak furniture by applying a high-grade beeswax polish once or twice a year, keeping the item away from direct heat sources, and maintaining a stable humidity level to prevent wood movement.
