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.

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 17th-century oak coffer is a heavy storage chest constructed primarily from solid English oak, often featuring boarded or panelled construction with simple iron hinges and lock plates, used historically for storing valuables, linens, and documents.

These pieces were crafted from native English oak using traditional joinery methods such as boarded construction, pegged joints, hand-cut dovetails, and forged iron hardware, often showing the tool marks of the period.

Authentic pieces exhibit period-appropriate tool marks, hand-forged ironwork, shrinkage cracks, natural oxidisation, and timber shrinkage consistent with centuries of age, rather than modern machine-cut joints or artificial distressing.

An antique coffer serves as a functional focal point in modern spaces, acting as a coffee table substitute, an entryway storage bench, or an end-of-bed trunk that adds textural contrast and historical depth to clean, minimalist schemes.

Preservation requires maintaining stable indoor humidity levels away from direct heat sources and sunlight, dusting regularly with a dry cloth, and occasionally applying a traditional beeswax polish to nourish the historic timber.
