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.

A 17th-century oak coffer is a wooden storage chest featuring panelled construction, traditionally used in British households to store linens, valuables, and textiles during the Jacobean and Caroline periods.

These coffers were built using solid English oak joined with mortise and tenon joints, secured with wooden pegs, and framed with moulded or carved panels rather than modern metal fasteners or glue.

Authentic period coffers display hand-planed timber surfaces, irregular peg construction, original iron staple hinges or wire loop hinges, and natural oxidation around the base and metalwork.

An oak coffer functions effectively as hallway storage, a low console, or a accent piece at the foot of a bed, pairing well with contemporary art and neutral textiles to create visual contrast.

Preserve the original surface patination by dusting regularly with a soft cloth and applying beeswax polish annually, keeping the chest away from direct heat sources and excessive humidity.
