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

The Edwardian period, spanning from 1901 to 1910, coincided with the golden age of steamship and rail travel, leading to the production of robust trunks designed to withstand long journeys while maintaining refined craftsmanship.

These trunks were typically built using a wooden internal frame covered in durable canvas, duck cloth, or leather, and reinforced with brass hardware, iron studs, and leather straps for structural integrity.

Authentic pieces feature period-correct construction methods such as hand-riveted metal fittings, dovetail joints where wood is visible, original makers plaques, and natural wear consistent with early 20th-century transit.

An antique trunk functions effectively as a coffee table, a bedroom storage chest at the foot of a bed, or an accent piece in a living room, providing both hidden storage and textural contrast.

Canvas surfaces should be gently cleaned with a dry brush or a slightly damp cloth to remove dust, while leather elements benefit from occasional treatment with appropriate conditioning wax to prevent drying and cracking.
