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 wooden storage chest featuring a hinged lid, typically constructed using heavy oak and joined with mortise and tenon joints. During the 17th century, coffers served as primary furniture items for storing textiles, clothing, and household valuables.

Period coffers were constructed from solid quarter-sawn oak, held together with wooden pegs rather than metal nails. Front panels often featured carved decorative motifs such as fretwork, strapwork, and leaf patterns, alongside iron escutcheons and hinges.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-hewn timber surfaces, peg construction, irregular tool marks, and natural shrinkage across the grain over centuries. Look for historic oxidisation around original iron fittings and evidence of traditional joined framing rather than modern machine cuts.

An oak coffer functions well as storage in a hallway, bedroom, or living space, serving as a focal point against neutral walls. Placing contemporary ceramics or a table lamp on top creates a visual contrast between historic timber and modern decor.

Maintain the timber by dusting regularly with a soft, dry cloth and applying a clear beeswax polish once or twice a year. Keep the coffer away from direct heat sources and excessive humidity to prevent wood movement and cracking.
