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

Leather-bound trunks and chests were traditionally used from the 17th century onwards for domestic storage and travel, designed to protect textiles and valuables from dust and moisture.

Authentic period chests typically feature a solid timber carcass covered in stitched leather, reinforced with brass or iron strapping, and secured with decorative clout nails or tacks.

Authentication relies on examining the ageing of the leather, hand-forged ironwork, dovetail joinery within the interior, and period-appropriate locking mechanisms rather than modern fastenings.

An antique chest works effectively as a functional coffee table in a living room or placed at the foot of a bed to introduce texture, warmth, and historical contrast.

Leather preservation requires maintaining stable humidity levels, avoiding direct sunlight to prevent drying, and periodically applying museum-grade microcrystalline wax to nourish the hide.
