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 coffer bach is a small, traditional Welsh chest featuring a hinged lid, often produced in regional timber like oak, historically given as a marriage gift or used for storing textiles.

Early eighteenth-century coffers were predominantly constructed from solid native hardwoods such as oak or elm, utilising pegged mortise and tenon joinery, raised fielded panels, and hand-forged iron or cast brass hardware.

Authentic period coffers feature hand-sawn timber marks, pegged joints, period-correct brassware or keyhole escutcheons, natural oxidisation on underside surfaces, and uneven wear along base moldings and aprons.

A coffer bach serves as versatile accent storage in hallways, living areas, or bedrooms, providing grounding warmth and natural wood texture within both traditional and contemporary interiors.

Dust regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and apply a quality beeswax polish once or twice a year, keeping the timber away from direct heat sources to prevent shrinkage or cracking.
