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

Camphor wood boxes were traditionally crafted in China for storing valuable clothing, linens, and paper documents. The natural aromatic oils within camphor timber act as an effective insect repellent, making these trunks highly practical for domestic preservation across centuries.

These chests are predominantly constructed from solid camphor wood framing combined with multi-layered lacquer panels. Decorative surface elements frequently incorporate mother-of-pearl, soapstone, or soft stone inlays depicting narrative figures and landscapes, completed with hand-formed brass lock plates.

Authentic pieces exhibit joinery such as exposed dovetails or mortise-and-tenon joints, accompanied by a distinct, long-lasting camphor scent from the unsealed interior wood. Hand-applied lacquer decoration, natural variations in the inlay materials, and aged patination on the brass hardware further indicate genuine construction.

A Chinese storage chest serves as a focal anchor when positioned at the foot of a bed or utilised as a low occasional coffee table in a living area. Pairing the warm timber frame and black lacquer panels with textured neutral upholstery balances traditional Asian craftsmanship with contemporary interior design.

Dust the lacquered surfaces regularly using a clean, dry microfibre cloth to protect the inlaid details from abrasion. Position the trunk away from direct radiators, heating vents, and harsh sunlight to prevent the timber from splitting and the lacquer from discolouring.
