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.

FAQs

Coffers evolved from medieval domestic trunks used primarily for storing valuables, textiles, and documents before the widespread use of wardrobes and chests of drawers.

These pieces were constructed using solid native hardwoods like oak, often employing frame-and-panel joinery to accommodate wood shrinkage, complemented by hand-carved details and contrasting marquetry inlays.

Authenticity is evaluated through hand-cut joinery, pegged mortise and tenon joints, natural patination, and tool marks consistent with period craftsmanship rather than modern production methods.

A period storage chest functions effectively as a structural coffee table in a living room, a statement piece at the foot of a bed, or functional hallway storage.

Maintain antique wooden furniture by keeping it away from direct heat sources and direct sunlight, occasionally feeding the timber with traditional beeswax to preserve the finish.
