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

An 18th century oak coffer served as a primary storage receptacle for linens, clothing, and household valuables during the Georgian period. Constructed by local country craftsmen, these chests reflected regional joinery styles and timber construction traditions across rural Britain.

Traditional coffers were constructed primarily from solid English oak utilizing mortise and tenon joinery secured with wooden pegs. Front and side sections feature carved or fielded panels set within a sturdily joined framework designed to accommodate natural timber movement.

Authentic 18th century coffers exhibit hand-hewn timber marks, hand-forged iron hardware, and irregular wooden peg joinery. Internal surfaces often retain rough saw marks, while the timber displays depth of surface patination and subtle shrinkage consistent with age.

An antique coffer functions effectively at the foot of a bed, beneath a hallway mirror, or as an occasional coffee table in a living space. The dark timber tones provide visual weight that grounds modern minimalist schemes and neutral colour palettes.

Antique oak requires routine dusting with a dry microfibre cloth and periodic application of natural beeswax polish to preserve the timber finish. Position the item away from direct heat sources and radiators to prevent wood shrinkage and joint movement.
