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.

This Regency period bow-front chest of drawers is constructed from mahogany with a warm brown finish. The piece measures 96 cm high, 125 cm wide, and 58 cm deep. The construction comprises four graduated drawers, complete with brass lion-head ring handles and keyhole escutcheons, flanked by reeded side pilasters that run down to turned legs. The serpentine-shaped top rests above a bowed carcase with vertical grain figuring. The interior of the top drawer contains three compartments. Placed in a bedroom, hallway, or living area, this chest serves as storage for clothing, linens, or household items while functioning as a surface for display objects.

FAQs

Regency period furniture, produced in Great Britain between approximately 1811 and 1830, is characterised by classical proportions, Greco-Roman architectural influences, clean outlines, and rich wood veneers such as mahogany and rosewood.

These chests typically feature flame mahogany veneers applied over pine or oak carcases, hand-cut dovetail joints, brass lion mask or ring pull handles, and reeded or fluted side columns.

Authentic nineteenth-century pieces display hand-saw marks on the drawer undersides, uneven hand-cut dovetail joints, natural timber shrinkage around lock plates, and genuine aged patina on cast brass hardware.

A Regency mahogany chest functions well as a focal storage piece in a hallway or bedroom, paired with contemporary abstract artwork above and simple ceramic vessels on top to contrast traditional and modern aesthetics.

Keep mahogany furniture away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent veneer lifting or timber splitting. Clean using a soft dry cloth and apply a high-quality beeswax polish sparingly along the grain once or twice a year.
