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.

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.

This small English country coffer dates from the eighteenth century. The piece is constructed from oak with a dark brown finish and brass hardware, standing 61.5 cm high, 112.3 cm wide, and 49 cm deep. The front features three fielded panels, flanked by vertical split-spindle turnings and beaded mouldings, beneath a rectangular overhanging lid. A decorative brass escutcheon sits centrally on the upper rail above the panels, while the structure is supported on straightforward stile feet. The timber displays age splits between the planks on the top surface, along with surface marks, a missing lock, and treated worm activity on the feet. The interior provides storage space accessible by lifting the lid, which opens on original hinges. This traditional storage trunk functions practically in a home today as a blanket chest at the foot of a bed, an accent table in a hallway, or a storage bench in a living area.

FAQs

An 18th-century oak coffer is a traditional wooden storage chest constructed with joinery techniques typical of the period, used primarily to store household linens, clothing, and valuables.

Historic coffers were constructed from solid hardwoods such as oak, utilizing mortise and tenon joinery, pegged construction, raised or fielded panels, and hand-forged iron or cast brass hardware.

Authentic 18th-century coffers display signs of hand-planed surfaces, irregular peg construction, age-related shrinkage along wood grain lines, and hardware exhibiting natural oxidisation.

An antique coffer can function as a hallway bench, a coffee table in a living room, or a storage unit positioned at the foot of a bed to add textural warmth to contemporary schemes.

Dust the wooden surface regularly with a soft dry cloth and apply a high-quality beeswax polish once or twice a year to maintain hydration and protect the patination, keeping the item away from direct heat sources.
