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

Steamship trunks originated to accommodate the rise of luxury ocean liner travel in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, designed specifically to fit beneath cabin berths or in cargo holds.

These trunks were typically constructed from durable woods such as pine, oak, or camphor, reinforced with iron or brass hardware, leather handles, and canvas or paper linings to withstand long sea voyages.

Authentic pieces exhibit genuine wear consistent with age, including rusted iron brackets, original shipping labels, hand-cut joinery, and patinated wood surfaces rather than artificially distressed finishes.

An antique trunk works effectively as a coffee table in a living room or as functional storage at the foot of a bed, adding historical texture and character to contemporary spaces.

Preservation involves dusting with a dry, soft cloth, avoiding harsh chemical cleaners that strip the patina, and occasionally treating exposed dry wood with microcrystalline wax.
