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

Popularised in the 1920s and 1930s for long-distance travel by sea and rail, wardrobe steamer trunks are upright luggage pieces engineered to function as portable wardrobes when opened.

These trunks were typically built using lightweight wood frames covered in vulcanised fibre or treated canvas, reinforced with steel or brass corner brackets, and lined with fabric or paper.

Authentic examples feature heavy metal latches, brass corner guards, makers badges or plates from established luggage manufacturers, and original interior fittings such as wooden hangers and fabric-lined drawers.

A standing wardrobe trunk can be displayed open in a bedroom or dressing space as a statement storage feature for folded garments, accessories, or decorative displays.

Store the trunk in a dry, climate-controlled environment to prevent mould and wood warp, clean metal fixtures with an appropriate metal polish, and dust exterior canvas surfaces gently with a soft brush.
