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.

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

These chests were typically constructed from native hardwoods like elm or oak, featuring hand-carved panels, pegged mortise and tenon joints, and wrought iron hardware.

Authenticity is determined by examining hand-tooled joinery, tool marks from adzes and saws, period-appropriate ironwork, and natural patina accumulated through centuries.

Such pieces can be incorporated as functional coffee tables, hallway storage benches, or accent furniture to introduce textural contrast and historical depth into contemporary spaces.

Preservation involves maintaining stable indoor humidity levels, avoiding direct sunlight, and periodically applying microcrystalline wax to nourish and protect the historic timber surface.

A seventeenth century elm coffer is a traditional heavy wooden storage box used primarily for holding linens, valuables, and documents in domestic households of the period.
