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 cofre forte is a traditional reinforced chest or strongbox, historically used across Iberian and European regions to secure monetary valuables, jewellery, and legal documents.

These chests are built using dense hardwoods such as kingwood or rosewood, reinforced with decorative brass or iron strapwork, corner mounts, and steel locking mechanisms.

Authentic examples feature hand-cut dovetail joinery, hand-chased brass or forged iron hardware, functional original lockwork, and natural surface patination on both wood and metal.

A cofre forte works as a statement accent piece displayed on top of a sideboard, console table, or executive desk, introducing historical texture to modern rooms.

Dust wood surfaces regularly with a dry microfibre cloth, apply natural beeswax sparingly to preserve the timber veneer, and clean metal mounts gently without abrasive chemicals.
