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

Swedish folk art furniture originated in rural Scandinavian communities during the 18th and 19th centuries, characterised by hand-painted floral decoration, bright ground colours, and personalized details such as initials and dates.

These coffers were primarily constructed from locally sourced softwood, such as pine or spruce, joined with hand-forged iron hardware and finished with natural pigment paints.

Authentic pieces feature construction details like dovetailed joints, hand-wrought iron escutcheons, natural timber shrinkage, and age-appropriate wear to original paint finishes, often accompanied by dated inscriptions.

A painted coffer serves as functional storage while adding historical texture to modern spaces, frequently positioned at the foot of a bed, in an entryway, or as a central low table.

Maintain historical painted surfaces by dusting with a soft dry cloth, avoiding water or harsh chemical cleaners, and keeping the item away from direct sunlight and fluctuating humidity.
