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 cannonball box or military ammunition chest was historically constructed to store and transport heavy artillery rounds and military stores, featuring thick hardwood construction and extensive iron reinforcement to withstand transport.

These chests were typically crafted using dense, durable hardwoods such as elm or oak, secured with hand-forged wrought iron straps, corner plates, latches, and side carrying rings.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-forged ironwork with irregular hammer marks, period joinery techniques such as dovetail or mortise and tenon joints, and natural patination across both the timber and metal fittings.

A substantial wooden coffer serves effectively as a low-profile coffee table in a living room, a functional storage trunk at the foot of a bed, or a structural focal point in an entryway.

Maintain the timber by dusting regularly with a dry cloth and applying natural beeswax occasionally to protect the grain, while keeping iron fittings clean and free from excess moisture to prevent corrosion.
