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 is a portable piece of storage furniture originally manufactured for military officers to transport personal belongings during travel and colonial deployment during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.

These trunks were typically constructed from durable woods such as camphor, mahogany, or teak, and reinforced with flush-fitting brass corners, straps, and handles to prevent damage during transit.

Authentic pieces feature inset brass hardware flush with the wood surface, hand-dovetailed joints, heavy brass corner brackets, and often retain the distinct aromatic scent of camphor wood.

A campaign trunk can serve as an occasional coffee table, a side table, or a decorative storage chest placed at the foot of a bed or within an entryway.

Dust regularly with a soft cloth and apply clear beeswax polish occasionally along the wood grain, while keeping the item away from direct heat sources and excessive moisture.
