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 coal purdonium is a specialized fireside storage cabinet developed in the nineteenth century to house coal or logs, designed with a sloped or drop-front door and often enhanced with ornamental metal mounts.

Victorian coal boxes were typically crafted from solid timbers such as oak, mahogany, or walnut, featuring brass strap hinges, handles, and corner fittings, alongside internal metal liners.

Authentic period pieces display original brass hardware secured with slot-head screws, dovetail corner joints on the cabinet frame, and signs of use within the interior chamber.

In modern living spaces, these functional cabinets serve as fireside storage for logs and kindling, or as alternative side tables and storage units in hallways and sitting rooms.

The timber surface should be conditioned periodically with natural beeswax, while the brass mountings require gentle dusting and limited cleaning to preserve the historical patina.
