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.

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 III chest on chest, also known as a tallboy, is a two-part wooden storage cabinet comprising a smaller chest of drawers fitted atop a wider base chest, crafted during the reign of King George III from 1760 to 1820.

These pieces were typically constructed using solid mahogany, oak, or walnut, featuring hand-cut dovetail drawer joints, solid oak drawer linings, and cast brass swan-neck or pierced backplate handles.

Authentic Georgian examples show evidence of hand-planed secondary timbers, hand-cut dovetails, naturally oxidised original hardware, and a clear two-part split structure designed to aid transport.

A Georgian tallboy adds verticality and character to modern dressing rooms or bedrooms when set against neutral plaster walls and paired with contemporary ambient lighting.

Keep the wood away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent shrinkage or splitting, and apply a high-grade beeswax paste twice yearly to nourish the original surface finish.
