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 coffer front is the main decorative front panel of an early wooden chest or trunk, often carved with geometric, floral, or religious motifs during the Tudor and Renaissance periods.

Early coffers were typically constructed from solid quarter-sawn oak using pegged mortise and tenon joinery, with decorative panels carved directly into the timber using hand chisels and gouges.

Authentic early panels display hand-hewn tool marks, structural shrinkage across the grain, deep natural patination in recessed areas, and hand-cut joinery consistent with early production methods.

An isolated coffer front can be wall-mounted as a architectural feature panel, positioned above a fireplace mantel, or integrated into custom cabinetry and furniture designs.

Historic oak should be dusted regularly with a soft dry cloth and polished annually with microcrystalline or beeswax polish, keeping the timber away from direct heat sources and high humidity.
