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.

FAQs

Seventeenth-century oak coffers were essential household items primarily used for storing valuable textiles, documents, and domestic goods before built-in wardrobes became common.

These pieces were constructed from solid English oak, utilizing frame-and-panel joinery to accommodate the natural expansion and contraction of timber, often fastened with wooden pegs or hand-wrought iron nails.

Authenticity is indicated by hand-cut joints, traditional hand-carved decoration, patination consistent with age, and signs of hand-tool marks rather than modern machinery.

A period coffer provides functional storage while serving as an anchor piece, working effectively as a coffee table alternative, a hallway bench, or a focal point in a living room.

Maintain stable humidity and temperature levels, keep the wood away from direct heat sources, and occasionally feed the timber with traditional beeswax to preserve the finish.
