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.

FAQs

Preservation involves maintaining stable indoor humidity levels, avoiding direct sunlight, and occasionally applying beeswax to nourish the timber without damaging the patina.

An antique coffer functions effectively as a coffee table in a living room, a blanket box at the foot of a bed, or a functional storage piece in an entryway.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-carved joints, iron or wrought-iron strap hinges, handmade nails, surface wear consistent with age, and tool marks left by pit saws and adzes.

These pieces were constructed predominantly from solid English oak using frame-and-panel techniques, pegged joints, and hand-split boards to accommodate the natural expansion and contraction of the timber.

Seventeenth-century oak coffers were essential household items primarily used for storing valuable textiles, documents, and domestic goods securely before the widespread use of wardrobes and chests of drawers.
