Delivery Terms

WE OFFER FREE DELIVERY TO ENGLAND, WALES, AND SCOTLAND (BELOW PERTH)

Shipping /delivery is equally as important to us as the item of furniture itself. It is simple; we deliver everything personally in England / Wales so this way we are 100% sure that the item / furniture reaches our customers safe and sound. We NEVER use couriers. Delivery is generally within 7-14 days of purchase. We guarantee delivery anywhere in England / Wales within 21 days of purchase.

Deliveries to Scotland as far north as Perth are guaranteed within 6 weeks of purchase. If delivery is required above Perth in Scotland please contact James on 07957 392 074 or

james@davidhuntantiques.com for a price.

Deliveries are either carried out by David or James as one member of the team is required to stay in the warehouse, therefore we do require assistance from the van into your hallway with the item of furniture. We have set delivery days and once the van is loaded (a day prior to delivery) David will call customers to arrange a two hour delivery time slot. Customers will also receive a text when delivery is 30 minutes away.

It is really helpful if customers can provide their ‘what3words’ location to make delivery as smooth

as possible, especially properties in rural locations.

Ireland Deliveries

We do use a very good courier company called DVM Service to deliver goods to Ireland. We ask the customer to pay this company direct for the delivery charge and we then liaise with DVM regarding collection of a customer’s item of furniture to be shipped to Ireland.

Europe & Rest of the World

We do not ship to Europe or the Rest of the World.

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.
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.
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.

During the Victorian era, pine blanket boxes were standard storage pieces used in domestic households for keeping linens, bedding, and textiles clean and dry. Typically constructed from solid European pine, these trunks were designed for utility, durability, and routine daily handling.

Victorian blanket boxes were typically made from solid pine planks, assembled using dovetail or rebate joints, and fitted with iron drop handles on the sides for transport. The surface was often treated with beeswax or oil to protect the wood grain.

Authentic period examples exhibit hand-cut dovetail joints, original iron carry handles, natural timber shrinkage along panel seams, and period-correct keyhole escutcheons. Wear around the plinth base and inside the storage compartment also indicates genuine historic usage.

A pine storage chest can function as a central coffee table in a living room, extra seating in a hallway, or end-of-bed storage in a bedroom. The warm timber tones contrast effectively against contemporary minimalist or neutral colour palettes.

Maintain the surface by wiping it regular with a soft, dry cloth and applying clear beeswax polish once or twice per year. Keep the piece away from direct radiator heat and damp environments to prevent timber warping or cracking.
