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

Preserve the finish by dusting regularly with a dry cloth, applying quality beeswax periodically to nourish the wood, and avoiding placement near direct heat sources or in fluctuating humidity.

A military chest functions effectively as a bedroom dresser, a hallway storage console, or a living room focal point, pairing well with both minimalist modern aesthetics and traditional eclectic spaces.

Authentic pieces exhibit period-appropriate hand-cut dovetails, genuine patination on the brass and wood, cedar or pine secondary drawer linings, and structural split-carcase construction designed for dismantling.

These chests were typically constructed from durable hardwoods such as mahogany, teak, or camphorwood, featuring dovetail joints, inset flush brass hardware, and removable turned feet for stability during transport.

A military chest, also known as a campaign chest, was designed in two or more sections with recessed brass handles and corner brackets to facilitate easy transport for British army officers travelling across the empire.
