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

Steamer trunks originated in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, designed specifically to fit into the restricted storage spaces of steamships and trains during the golden age of global travel.

These trunks typically feature a wooden frame covered in canvas, leather, or vulcanised fibre, reinforced with wooden slats, metal corner brackets, and brass hardware for durability during transit.

Authentic pieces generally exhibit period-appropriate hardware such as brass latches and locks, makers plates, hand-hammered rivets, and natural wear patterns consistent with age and travel use.

A steamer trunk can function as a functional coffee table, a bedroom blanket box, or an accent piece, adding texture and historical character to modern living spaces.

Preservation involves keeping the piece away from direct sunlight and excessive humidity, gently dusting exterior surfaces, and occasionally conditioning the wood and metal hardware with appropriate conservation products.
