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

Camphorwood chests were traditionally manufactured in East Asia during the 19th century, frequently commissioned by European merchants, sailors, and travellers for maritime voyages.

These items are constructed from solid aromatic camphor wood, traditionally featuring hand-cut dovetail joints, brass or iron corner brackets, and heavy side carrying handles.

Authentic pieces exhibit natural timber shrinkage, hand-forged or brass hardware, period locking mechanisms, and a distinct, lingering aromatic scent from the camphor wood.

This piece functions effectively as a coffee table in a living room, an end-of-bed storage solution, or an accent piece in a hallway, combining utility with historical texture.

Maintain the timber by avoiding direct sunlight and excessive heat fluctuations. Feed the wood periodically with natural beeswax and avoid applying chemical polishes.
