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

Blanket boxes and coffers were essential storage furniture pieces in British homes, used primarily for textiles, linens, and valuables before fitted wardrobes became common.

These pieces were typically constructed from native British timbers like elm and oak, joined using traditional hand-cut dovetails, pegged joints, and wrought iron hardware.

Authenticity is identified through hand-planed board surfaces, period-appropriate tool marks, period iron hinges, and natural timber oxidisation consistent with age.

An antique chest works effectively as a practical coffee table, an end-of-bed storage unit, or a standalone accent piece that adds warmth and historical texture to contemporary spaces.

Preserve antique wood by keeping it away from direct sunlight and heat sources, and maintain the finish by occasionally applying traditional beeswax.
