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

Camphor wood chests originated in Asia and were historically constructed to store textiles, linens, and garments. The natural aromatic oils within the camphor timber serve as a natural repellent against moths and insects.

These trunks are crafted predominantly from solid camphor timber, frequently fitted with cast brass or bronze latch plates and featuring intricate high-relief relief carvings across the exterior panels.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-carved joinery, detailed relief work illustrating cultural scenes or mythical motifs such as dragons, and a distinct aromatic scent when the interior lid is raised.

A carved timber chest functions effectively positioned at the foot of a bed, utilised as a focal coffee table alternative, or placed in a hallway to provide dual functionality as decor and functional storage.

Maintain the timber by dusting regularly with a soft, dry lint-free cloth. Keep the chest away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent cracking, and avoid harsh chemical cleaners that strip the original finish.
