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 marriage chest, or coffer, is a traditional wooden storage chest historically given to couples upon marriage to store household linens, textiles, and domestic valuables.

These coffers were constructed from solid English oak using mortise and tenon joinery secured with wooden pegs, often featuring hand-carved raised panels and iron lock plates.

Authentic period coffers feature pegged joint construction, hand-planed interior surfaces, natural wood shrinkage around iron escutcheons, and historic inscriptions or dates carved directly into the wooden panels.

An antique coffer functions as a statement storage solution at the foot of a bed, within an entry hall, or as a low coffee table in a modern living space.

Maintain the surface patina by dusting regularly with a dry cloth and applying a clear beeswax polish annually while avoiding synthetic sprays and excessive humidity.
