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

An antique travel trunk is a rigid luggage container manufactured during the 18th and 19th centuries, designed to transport personal effects during journeys via stagecoach, steamship, or rail.

These storage containers were typically built with a solid wooden framework, covered in hide or leather for weather resistance, and reinforced with iron or brass strapping, corner brackets, and studs.

Authenticity can be determined by examining hand-forged ironwork, square-cut nails, natural hide wear patterns, hand-stitched seams, and original paper linings or maker labels inside the lid.

A hide-covered trunk functions effectively as a coffee table in a living room, a blanket chest at the foot of a bed, or a statement storage piece in an entrance hallway.

Maintenance involves gentle dusting with a soft-bristled brush in the direction of the hair, keeping the hide away from direct heat sources to prevent drying, and applying microcrystalline wax to iron fittings to prevent oxidisation.
