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.
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.
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.

A coffer is a wooden storage chest, historically utilised across France during the 18th century to secure valuables, textiles, and household goods.

These pieces were predominantly crafted from solid hardwoods such as oak, walnut, or fruitwood, featuring mortise-and-tenon joinery and hand-forged wrought iron hardware like lock plates and hinges.

Authentic period pieces exhibit evidence of hand-planed timber surfaces, original wrought iron escutcheon plates, hand-cut joinery, and natural age-related shrinkage along the grain.

A small oak coffer functions effectively as a distinct accent piece, serving as a low side table, entryway storage box, or focal point within contemporary or traditional schemes.

Maintain the timber finish by dusting regularly with a dry cloth and applying a clear beeswax polish once or twice a year, ensuring placement remains away from direct heat sources.
