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

Campaign trunks were portable storage units designed for military officers during the 18th and 19th centuries, featuring flush metal fittings and reinforced corners to withstand transport without damage.

Camphor wood was chosen for military and sea trunks because its natural aromatic oils naturally repel insects and moths, protecting stored textiles and uniforms.

Authentic pieces feature recessed brass corner straps, flush-mounted iron or brass carrying handles, solid dovetail joinery, and dense timbers such as camphor, teak, or mahogany.

A campaign trunk functions effectively as a central coffee table in a living room, a functional bench in an entryway, or a storage unit positioned at the foot of a bed.

Maintain the surface by dusting with a dry cloth and applying natural beeswax periodically, while keeping the piece away from direct heat sources to prevent wood shrinkage.
