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

A coffer is a heavy wooden storage chest fitted with a hinged lid, historically used across Europe from the medieval period through the 17th century. These functional items served as secure storage for linens, valuables, and clothing, whilst also functioning as seating within early domestic interiors.

Traditional coffers were primarily constructed from solid local hardwoods such as oak or elm, utilising pegged mortise and tenon joinery. Front panels were frequently hand-carved with relief motifs including geometric lozenges, rosettes, and arcading.

Authentic period coffers exhibit hand-hewn timber marks, irregular peg construction, original iron hinges or ring-latches, and natural wear around the base. The presence of historic hand-carving showing subtle variations rather than uniform machine precision further indicates age.

A carved oak coffer provides anchor texture and storage at the foot of a bed, within an entrance hallway, or placed behind a sofa. Combining dark carved timber with neutral textiles and minimalist decor balances the heavy visual weight of historic furniture.

Clean surfaces regularly using a soft, dry lint-free cloth to remove dust. Apply a high-grade beeswax polish annually along the wood grain to maintain moisture levels and protect original dark patination, avoiding chemical solvents or direct heat sources.
