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 chests designed for military officers during travel and active service in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, featuring flat sides and flush-mounted brass fittings to facilitate easy stacking and transportation.

Camphor wood was widely favoured for maritime and military storage trunks because its natural aromatic resin repelled insects such as moths and termites, protecting clothing, textiles, and documents during long overseas voyages.

Authentic nineteenth-century campaign pieces feature heavy brass corner brackets, flush-fitting hardware, hand-cut dovetail joinery, and frequently retain the distinct natural scent of camphor wood internally.

A campaign trunk functions effectively as a coffee table in a living room, a blanket storage box positioned at the foot of a bed, or a functional accent piece within an entryway.

Maintain the timber by dusting with a soft dry cloth and applying natural beeswax sparingly, while gently wiping brass fittings with a cloth to retain the established age-acquired patina.
