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 traditional box or chest with a hinged lid, historically used in medieval and post-medieval households for storing valuables, linens, and documents before the widespread use of wardrobes and chest of drawers.

Traditional coffers are typically constructed from solid oak using frame-and-panel construction, which accommodates the natural expansion and contraction of timber, joined with mortise and tenon joints secured by wooden pegs.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-finished surfaces, traditional joinery such as pegged mortise and tenons, hand-riven or hand-sawn timber boards on the interior and base, and natural age-related wear, oxidisation, and patina.

An antique oak coffer functions effectively as a practical storage piece at the foot of a bed, as a coffee table in a living room, or as an accent piece in a hallway, adding textural contrast and historical warmth to modern schemes.

Preserve antique oak by keeping it away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent timber splitting, and maintain the finish by occasionally applying natural beeswax while avoiding modern silicone-based polishes.
