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 engineered to be transported efficiently by military personnel and travellers during the 18th and 19th centuries.

Camphor wood was selected for naval and military trunks due to its natural aromatic oils, which repelled insects such as moths and woodworm during long maritime voyages.

Authentic campaign pieces feature flush-fitting hardware, brass corner brackets, recessed handles, and robust joinery designed to withstand travel without protruding elements catching or breaking.

A campaign trunk serves well as a central coffee table in a living room, an accent chest at the foot of a bed, or functional storage in a study.

Dust the timber regularly with a soft cloth, apply clear beeswax sparingly to preserve the wood finish, and avoid abrasive polishes on aged brass fittings.
