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 coffer is a wooden storage chest featuring a hinged lid, historically used for storing valuable textiles, household linens, and personal possessions during the 17th century.

Early coffers were constructed using solid oak with mortise and tenon joinery secured by wooden pegs, often featuring hand-carved front panels and hand-forged iron locks.

Authentic pieces typically exhibit pegged joinery, original iron lock plates or wire loop hinges, hand-planed interiors, and uneven wear patterns consistent with centuries of use.

An antique coffer functions effectively as an entryway bench, a low coffee table, or storage placement at the foot of a bed, adding historical texture to modern settings.

Dust regularly with a dry cloth and apply a beeswax polish once or twice a year to nourish the timber and preserve the natural patina, avoiding synthetic chemical sprays.
