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 16th-century coffer is a primary wooden storage chest from the Tudor or Renaissance period, constructed to store linens, valuables, and clothing. These pieces often feature hand-carved decorative front panels, such as Romayne heads or architectural arches.

Coffers of this era were typically built from solid European oak using mortise and tenon joinery secured with wooden pegs. The metalwork, including hinges, latches, and escutcheon plates, was hand-forged from iron.

Authentic pieces exhibit signs of age such as uneven timber surfaces from hand-planing, peg construction protruding or settling over time, natural wood shrinkage across the grain, and deep oxidisation around iron fittings.

An early oak coffer functions effectively at the foot of a bed, along a hallway, or as a central accent piece in a living area. Its rich wood tones provide tactile contrast against modern neutral walls and contemporary soft furnishings.

Keep the timber away from direct heat sources and fluctuating humidity to prevent cracking or warping. Dust regularly with a clean, dry cloth and apply a high-quality beeswax polish periodically to maintain the timber finish.
