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 17th-century oak coffer is a wooden storage trunk constructed using joinery methods of the period, featuring a hinged lid and panelled sides, primarily used to store household linens and valuable goods.

Early coffers were made from solid quarter-sawn oak, assembled using mortise and tenon joints held together with wooden pegs rather than metal screws or modern adhesives.

Authentic pieces display hand-planed timber surfaces, hand-cut wooden peg joinery, historic ironwork such as cotter-pin hinges or forged escutcheons, and uneven wear consistent with age.

An antique coffer can function as a hallway bench, a foot-of-bed storage chest, or a coffee table in a living space to add historical texture against modern backdrops.

Maintain the finish by applying a natural beeswax polish annually, keeping the wood away from direct heat sources and avoiding wet cleaning solutions.
