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

A hide-covered coffer is a traditional storage chest constructed from a wooden frame wrapped in animal skin, reinforced with iron straps and decorative studs for added durability during travel.

These coffers were crafted using a solid timber frame covered with stretched cattle or horse hide, bordered with thick leather strips, and bound with hand-forged iron bands and studs.

Authentic pieces feature hand-forged ironwork, irregular hand-cut rivets or studs, original patinated hide exhibiting natural wear, and hand-cut timber joinery inside.

Position the coffer as a tactile focal point in a hallway, bedroom, or living space to bring historical character, texture, and practical concealed storage to neutral schemes.

Keep the trunk away from direct heat sources and high humidity to prevent the hide from drying or cracking, dust gently with a soft dry brush, and treat iron fittings with microcrystalline wax to prevent corrosion.
