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

A coffer is a solid wooden storage chest with a hinged lid, widely produced during the 17th century across Britain and Europe for storing linens, clothing, and household valuables.

These pieces were typically constructed from solid native oak using mortise and tenon joinery secured with wooden pegs, often finished with hand-carved decorative panels and hand-forged iron lock plates.

Authentic period coffers feature evidence of hand-planed timber, uneven saw marks, pegs that project slightly due to wood shrinkage, hand-forged hardware, and natural wear along the base and feet.

An antique coffer functions as a functional statement piece in an entryway, at the foot of a bed, or as a characterful coffee table when juxtaposed with contemporary soft furnishings.

Dust regularly with a dry, soft cloth and apply a quality beeswax polish once or twice a year, keeping the timber away from direct heat sources and high humidity.
