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

Maritime furniture was specifically designed for life aboard ocean vessels, featuring compact proportions, recessed or flush handles to avoid snagging in tight spaces, and lip edges or raised galleries to prevent items from sliding during transit.

Dense, moisture-resistant timbers such as pitch pine, teak, and mahogany were standard choices, frequently combined with brass or silver-plated flush hardware designed to resist corrosion and withstand high humidity.

Authentic maritime chests feature functional design elements such as recessed metal pull handles, gallery top rims, robust joinery, and occasionally ship name stampings or inventory plaques indicating ocean liner origin.

A maritime chest functions effectively as a compact tallboy in a bedroom, a hallway storage piece, or an accent chest in an office space, contrasting well with neutral palettes and contemporary minimalism.

Maintain pitch pine by regularly dusting with a soft, lint-free cloth and applying a clear natural beeswax polish periodically to feed the timber and protect the wood finish from atmospheric dryness.
