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

Silver chests were heavy-duty storage containers crafted specifically to safeguard valuable family plate and silverware during transport or periods when estates were unattended. Constructed from solid timber and heavily reinforced with metal bands, they often featured specialised internal fittings or baize-lined trays to prevent damage to precious metalwork.

These pieces were predominantly constructed from dense, durable hardwoods such as oak or mahogany to withstand heavy loads and potential impact. Heavy wrought iron or steel bands, corner brackets, and solid brass or iron locking mechanisms were fitted externally to strengthen the timber joinery and bolster security.

Authentic 19th-century examples display hand-cut joinery, hand-forged ironwork straps with irregular rivet placement, and period-correct locks. Age-appropriate surface patination, natural wood shrinkage around iron fastenings, and original brass maker or owner plates are key indicators of period construction.

A substantial metal-bound chest functions effectively as a central coffee table in a living room, providing both visual weight and practical concealed storage. Alternatively, placing the chest at the foot of a bed or within an entryway creates a functional anchor point that adds historical character to modern spaces.

Maintain the timber by periodically applying a quality beeswax polish along the grain, avoiding silicone-based treatments. Keep metal straps dry and clean using a soft cloth, applying a thin coating of neutral microcrystalline wax to prevent oxidisation or rust formation without altering the natural patina.
