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 chest on chest, often called a tallboy, emerged in the late 17th century and gained immense popularity during the Georgian era as a practical solution for maximizing vertical storage space in bedrooms.

These pieces were typically constructed from dense timbers such as mahogany or oak, featuring hand-cut dovetail joints on the drawer constructions, oak secondary woods, and brass drop handles.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-cut dovetailing, timber shrinkage consistent with age, period-correct brass hardware, hand-planed drawer bottoms, and original patination rather than modern chemical finishes.

A large wooden piece serves as a striking focal point in a bedroom or hallway, offering a warm contrast against neutral walls while providing substantial enclosed storage.

Maintain the wood by keeping it away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent cracking, and periodically nourish the surface with traditional beeswax rather than modern silicone polishes.
