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 camphor wood campaign trunk is a sturdy storage chest originally designed for military officers and travellers, constructed using camphor timber to protect textiles and garments from insects and decay.

These trunks are crafted from dense timbers such as camphor, teak, or mahogany, fitted with flush brass corner brackets, brass straps, and drop carrying handles to withstand transit.

Authentic pieces feature flush-inset brass hardware to prevent snagging during transport, hand-dovetailed corner joints, and an aromatic natural camphor scent within the interior.

A campaign trunk functions as a low central coffee table in a living space, an end-of-bed storage chest in a bedroom, or a hallway coffer for storing blankets and household items.

Clean the timber using a soft dry cloth and apply clear beeswax polish periodically, keeping the trunk away from direct heat sources to prevent the wood from shrinking or splitting.
