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 six-plank chest, also known as a boarded coffer, is an early form of wooden storage constructed using six solid timber boards joined together, prominent from the medieval period through to the 17th century.

These chests were typically crafted from solid oak using hand-forged iron nails, wooden pegs, or simple rebate joinery, often decorated with surface chip-carving and fitted with iron lockplates.

Authentic period coffers display signs of hand-worked timber including pit-saw marks, irregular board thicknesses, historical ironwork, and surface ornamentation reflective of folk art traditions.

A carved oak chest functions well as entryway storage, a foot-of-bed trunk, or a hallway focal point when contrasted against neutral walls and contemporary textiles.

Maintain the timber finish by dusting regularly with a dry lint-free cloth and applying a clear beeswax polish annually, keeping the piece away from direct heat sources and moisture.
