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

These chests were designed in the nineteenth century for wealthy families and military officers to transport solid silver tableware and valuables securely between country estates and urban residences.

They were constructed using heavy solid oak boards bound with hand-forged iron straps, corner brackets, and reinforced studs to provide maximum security and structural integrity during transit.

Authentic pieces feature thick oak construction, exterior iron banding, flush carrying handles, robust locking mechanisms, and often carry an engraved brass ownership plate or internal fitted dividers.

An iron-bound trunk serves well as a distinctive central coffee table in a living room, a linen coffer placed at the end of a bed, or a standalone accent piece in a hallway.

Apply clear beeswax to the oak timber to nourish the wood grain, while keeping the ironwork clean and protected with a light coat of microcrystalline wax to prevent oxidisation.
