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 tallboy, or chest on chest, is an 18th-century piece of case furniture designed in two distinct sections to provide extensive vertical storage while remaining manageable to transport.

George III tallboys were predominantly constructed from solid mahogany with oak drawer linings, frequently incorporating flame mahogany veneers on drawer fronts alongside cast brass hardware.

Authentic pieces feature hand-cut dovetail joints, hand-sawn backboards, original brass escutcheons, and visible structural division between the upper and lower sections.

A mahogany tallboy functions effectively as a focal point in a bedroom, dressing room, or hallway, paired with neutral walls and modern lighting to highlight its timber grain.

Maintain mahogany by dusting regularly with a soft cloth and applying beeswax occasionally, keeping the piece away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent movement.
