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 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.
