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 brass-bound travelling trunk is a solid wooden storage chest reinforced with protective metal corner plates and straps, originally designed to withstand transport during 19th-century long-distance journeys.

These trunks were typically constructed from durable hardwoods such as oak, mahogany, or teak, combined with heavy cast brass corners, side carrying handles, and brass lock plates.

Authentic period trunks feature hand-cut dovetail or mortise joinery, flush-fitting brass hardware designed to prevent snagging, historical keyhole escutcheon plates, and uniform age-related oxidisation on the metals.

A large oak travelling trunk can function as a central coffee table in a living room, an end-of-bed blanket storage unit, or a standalone decorative storage piece along a hallway.

Maintain the oak timber by applying a clear beeswax polish using a soft cotton cloth, while keeping brass fittings free from harsh chemical cleaners to preserve the natural aged patina.
