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

Designed for transport by officers during military operations, a campaign chest is constructed in two stackable sections with flush brass hardware to prevent damage during transit.

Hardwoods such as mahogany, teak, and camphorwood were primary materials, fitted with cast brass corner brackets, flush handles, and steel locking mechanisms for durability.

Authentic pieces feature a two-part split construction, recessed brass handles, protective corner straps, hand-cut dovetail joints, and occasional maker marks from established nineteenth-century workshops.

Position the chest in a hallway, bedroom, or living area as a functional storage centerpiece, pairing rich mahogany tones and brass metalwork with contemporary art and neutral wall finishes.

Dust the surfaces regularly with a clean microfibre cloth, apply a natural beeswax polish sparingly once or twice a year, and maintain stable humidity levels away from direct heat sources.
