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

Historically crafted in regional areas such as Gujarat and Rajasthan, these heavy timber trunks, often called damchiyas or pitaras, were traditionally given as dowry chests to store textiles, heirloom jewellery, and household valuables.

These chests are typically constructed from dense hardwoods such as teak, sheesham, or mango wood, and are reinforced with hand-forged iron or brass straps, metal bosses, and functional latches.

Authentic pieces feature traditional joinery, hand-beaten iron fittings exhibiting natural oxidisation, and signs of wear on the structural timber and wooden wheels.

A large trunk functions effectively as a central coffee table in a living room, a blanket storage chest at the foot of a bed, or a feature piece in an entryway.

Maintain the piece by dusting with a soft dry cloth and applying a clear bees-wax polish periodically to protect the timber, while avoiding moisture on metal fittings.
