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 17th-century oak coffer is a heavy wooden storage chest constructed with mortise and tenon joinery, primarily used during the Jacobean and Carolean eras to store household linens, textiles, and valuables.

These coffers were crafted from native quarter-sawn English oak, assembled using wooden dowels or wooden pegs rather than metal screws, and decorated with hand-carved low-relief relief motifs.

Authentic period pieces exhibit uneven hand-planed surfaces, hand-cut wooden peg joints, original iron wire hinges or strap hinges, and natural oxidisation around metal fittings.

An antique coffer functions effectively in an entryway beneath modern wall art, at the foot of a bed for bed linen storage, or as a functional coffee table in a contemporary living space.

Preserve the patinated surface by dusting with a soft cloth and applying a high-grade beeswax polish once or twice a year, keeping the wood away from direct heat sources and damp environments.
