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 domed leather trunk is a wood-framed travelling chest wrapped in leather with a distinctive curved lid. Historically used for carriage and ship travel, the arched top was designed to shed rainwater and prevent other luggage from being stacked on top of it.

These trunks were typically built with a sturdy pine or hardwood frame, covered in stretched leather, and reinforced with iron or brass studded bands along the seams. Interiors were frequently lined with plain paper, linen, or patterned textiles.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-hammered studs or tacks, original brass or iron keyhole plates, natural surface wear, and craquelure on the leather. Monograms formed from stud work or painted initials were common custom features of the period.

A domed trunk functions well as a focal storage piece placed at the foot of a bed or in an empty corner of a hallway. Its rich texture and dark tones contrast effectively against contemporary plastered or neutral backdrop walls.

Keep the trunk away from direct heat sources and high humidity to prevent the leather from drying out or cracking. Periodic application of a neutral leather wax or conditioner helps preserve the material, while dust can be removed with a soft, dry cloth.
