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

Campaign furniture was designed to be portable and easily transported by military officers during overseas deployments in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. These pieces were constructed with flat sides, disassembling components, or recessed brass fittings to withstand frequent transit.

Campaign chests were primarily crafted from durable hardwoods such as teak, mahogany, or camphor wood. Brass hardware, including flush corner brackets and drop handles, was fitted flush into the surface to prevent catching during travel.

Authentic campaign furniture features recessed or flush-fitting brass handles, heavy construction in tropical hardwoods, hand-cut dovetail joinery, and often period maker marks or brass nameplates belonging to officers.

A campaign chest functions well as a functional storage solution or focal point in a living area, study, or hallway. Its classic proportions allow it to serve as a side table, accent piece, or blanket box.

Maintain the timber by applying a quality beeswax polish periodically along the grain. Keep the piece away from direct heat sources and excessive sunlight to preserve the finish, and gently clean brass fittings with a soft cloth without removing natural oxidisation.
