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.
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.
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.

A coal purdonium is a specialised wooden cabinet or box designed during the 19th and early 20th centuries to store coal near a fireplace while concealing fuel behind a decorative door or drop-front panel.

These pieces were typically constructed from solid hardwoods such as mahogany, walnut, or oak, often featuring decorative marquetry inlays of contrasting woods like boxwood or satinwood, paired with brass handles and interior metal liners.

Authentic Liberty-style and Art Nouveau coal boxes feature organic design elements, such as whiplash curves, stylised botanical marquetry, fine brass metalwork, and quality cabinetwork set on ceramic or brass castors.

An antique coal purdonium can be positioned beside a fireplace as a focal decorative object, or repurposed in a hallway or living room as an occasional side cabinet or discreet storage unit.

Clean the wooden surfaces regularly using a soft microfibre cloth and apply a high-quality beeswax polish along the grain, ensuring the piece is kept away from direct heat sources to prevent timber drying or inlay lifting.
