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

An antique silver chest was traditionally constructed during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries to secure valuable family silver, plate, and household items during travel or long-term storage.

These trunks were typically built from durable hardwoods such as oak or pine, reinforced with heavy iron corner brackets and protective iron straps, and secured with iron or brass hardware.

Authentic period trunks feature hand-forged or heavy cast metal fittings, authentic surface wear, period dovetail or rebate joinery, and occasionally original brass owner or maker nameplates.

A large oak storage trunk works well as a central coffee table, a statement piece at the foot of a bed, or functional storage within an entryway or living room.

Dust surfaces regularly with a soft cloth, apply natural beeswax polish to preserve the oak finish, and keep metal hardware dry and lightly treated to prevent oxidisation.
