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.
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.

Spanish trunks of this period typically feature wooden frames covered in dark hide, decorated with dense brass studding in geometric or scroll motifs, and secured with heavy iron lock mechanisms.

These chests were constructed using solid timber frames covered with thick animal hide, reinforced and decorated with brass nails or studs, and fitted with hand-forged iron hardware.

Authentic pieces display hand-hammered iron fittings, uneven hand-shaped brass studs, natural age patina on the hide, and traditional dovetail or nail joinery on the internal timber structure.

A studded coffer can function as a central coffee table, a storage chest at the foot of a bed, or a textured accent piece in an entryway or living room.

Keep the hide moisturised with specialised leather conservator wax, avoid direct heat sources, and clean the metal fittings gently with a soft dry cloth without harsh abrasives.
