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

Designed during the 18th and 19th centuries, leather travel trunks served as secure, portable storage containers for personal belongings during extended long-distance transit by carriage or ship.

These trunks typically feature a sturdy timber frame covered in thick hide, secured with brass tacks, reinforced metal corner brackets, and heavy-duty iron latches or locks.

Authentic pieces display hand-hammered brass or iron studs, period lock mechanisms, patinated leather with natural wear patterns, and traditional timber construction beneath the lining.

A leather trunk functions effectively as an occasional coffee table, a statement storage chest at the foot of a bed, or a decorative feature in a hallway or library.

Keep the leather away from direct heat sources, dust regularly with a soft dry cloth, and apply a specialised leather conditioner periodically to maintain flexibility and prevent cracking.
