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 Victorian campaign trunk is made from solid camphorwood in a warm brown colour with a natural timber grain finish. The rectangular chest has a hinged lid fitted with flush brass corner brackets, strap hinges, a central unengraved name plaque, and a recessed brass pull handle at the front above a brass keyhole escutcheon. Additional brass straps reinforce the side edges and lower corners of the body, and the lock is fully working with an included key. The piece measures 40 cm high, 89 cm wide, and 45 cm deep. In a modern home, this storage chest works effectively in a study, library, or living room, where it can serve dual purposes as a display surface and a coffee table while providing hidden storage for blankets, books, or household items. The sturdy timber construction and durable metal hardware suit everyday use in various interior settings.

FAQs

A campaign trunk was designed for British military officers to transport personal effects securely during overseas service in the nineteenth century.

These trunks are typically constructed from dense hardwoods like camphorwood or teak, reinforced with flush-fitting brass corner brackets and strapwork to withstand long journeys.

Authentic pieces feature inset brass hardware designed to lie flush with the wood surface, hand-cut dovetail or mortise jointing, and often retain the characteristic aromatic scent of natural camphorwood internally.

A campaign trunk functions effectively as a central coffee table, a storage chest placed at the foot of a bed, or a side table within a sitting room.

Dust the exterior regularly with a soft, dry cloth, avoid positioning near direct heat sources, and occasionally apply a clear bees wax to protect the timber surface.
