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 Zanzibar chest is a traditional teak or hardwood storage trunk heavily decorated with pierced brass plating, studs, and decorative metalwork, historically produced in Zanzibar and Oman for maritime trade.

These chests are constructed from durable hardwoods such as teak or rosewood, bound with chased or pierced brass sheets, brass studs, and iron hinges.

Authentic period pieces feature hand-cut or hand-punched brass mounts, irregular hand-forged nails, solid hardwood boards showing natural ageing, and original cast iron lock mechanisms.

A brass mounted teak chest functions as a central coffee table in a living space, a blanket box placed at the foot of a bed, or a functional storage feature in a wide hallway.

Dust the wood regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and nourish with natural beeswax, taking care to avoid harsh chemical polishes on the brass to preserve its aged patina.
