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.

Late George III travelling trunks date from the early nineteenth century and were constructed to withstand horse-drawn carriage and maritime travel. They typically feature a timber core covered in animal hide, secured with brass studs and iron strapping.

These trunks were primarily built using solid pine or oak framework covered in natural hide. Structural durability was enhanced with wrought iron corner brackets, lock plates, side carrying handles, and decorative brass studs.

Authentic pieces display hand-forged iron hardware, irregular hand-hammered brass studs, and original makers paper labels inside the lid. Natural age-related wear, such as patinated metalwork and desiccation of the hide, also indicates authenticity.

A hide travelling trunk can serve as a central coffee table, an end-of-bed storage chest, or a statement piece in a hallway. Its textured surface adds historical character to modern rustic or eclectic living spaces.

Historic hide should be kept away from direct heat sources and excessive humidity to prevent splitting. Gentle cleaning with a dry soft brush and application of specialized leather conserve wax helps preserve the material without altering the natural patina.
