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

Spanish wooden boxes of the late 18th century typically feature dense regional hardwoods such as walnut, combined with distinctive hand-forged wrought iron hardware. Their design reflects a blend of Baroque influence and practical rustic craftsmanship, often incorporating dovetail joinery and decorative escutcheons.

These boxes were primarily constructed from solid European walnut, chosen for its durability and rich grain structure. Structural elements were secured with hand-cut dovetail joints and fitted with iron lock plates, clasps, and hinges.

Authentic period examples display signs of hand tool manufacturing, including uneven dovetail joints, hand-hammered wrought iron with natural oxidisation, and timber shrinkage consistent with age. Original ironwork usually shows square nut threads or hand-turned screws alongside a natural aged patina.

An antique walnut coffer serves as a grounding accent piece on a modern console table, sideboard, or deep bookshelf. Its rich wood tones and textured ironwork provide organic contrast against clean contemporary surfaces and neutral backdrops.

Maintain timber health by applying a high-grade beeswax polish once or twice a year, buffing gently along the wood grain. Keep the piece away from direct heat sources and excessive humidity to prevent wood movement and protect the original iron patina from active rust.
