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.

FAQs

A coffer is a heavy wooden storage chest fitted with a hinged lid, historically utilized during the Renaissance and Tudor periods for securing textiles, clothing, and household valuables.

Early coffers were typically crafted from solid native hardwoods, predominantly oak, assembled using hand-cut mortise and tenon joinery secured with wooden pegs and hand-forged iron hardware.

Authentic period coffers display signs of hand-planed timber, wooden peg construction rather than modern nails, hand-carved decorative motifs like Gothic tracery, and hand-hammered iron lock plates.

A carved oak coffer works well as a grounding statement piece in an entryway, placed at the foot of a bed, or positioned along a hallway to complement contemporary neutral wall finishes.

Care for an antique oak coffer involves applying a high-quality natural beeswax polish once or twice per year, keeping the timber away from direct heat sources, and dusting regularly with a dry cloth.
