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 traditional Swedish dome top chest is a handcrafted wooden storage trunk, often dating from the 18th or 19th century, featuring a curved lid and hand-painted folk art decoration such as regional floral motifs and inscriptions.

These chests were primarily constructed from local softwoods such as pine or fir, secured with hand-wrought iron hinges, corner brackets, and straps, then decorated using mineral-based paints.

Authentic pieces feature original hand-wrought iron hardware, dovetail or pegged joinery, natural paint wear with surface patination, and hand-painted inscriptions often showing initials and dates of marriage or manufacture.

A painted coffer serves as a functional focal point when placed at the foot of a bed, positioned in a hallway for concealed storage, or styled within a living space as a low storage piece.

Keep the chest in a climate-controlled room away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent timber movement and paint flaking. Dust gently with a soft dry cloth, avoiding water or abrasive cleaning solutions.
