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

These chests were traditional storage vessels used across Nordic rural communities during the 18th and 19th centuries, often created as marriage chests or travelling trunks to hold linens, textiles, and personal belongings.

Craftsmen typically used local slow-grown pine with hand-dovetailed or pegged joinery, reinforced with forged iron straps, side handles, and heavy mortise locks for structural strength and security.

Authentic examples display hand-forged ironwork with visible hammer marks, original keyholes or escutcheons, hand-cut dovetail joints, and naturally aged painted finishes showing authentic wear and wood exposure.

These versatile wooden trunks function effectively as grounded coffee tables, entryway benches, or foot-of-bed storage in contemporary, rustic, or minimalist interior schemes.

Clean the surface gently using a dry, soft brush or cloth to remove dust without disturbing flaking paint, and apply a neutral microcrystalline wax to stabilise oxidised iron fittings and exposed wood.
