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

Originally crafted during the 18th and 19th centuries, camphorwood trunks were designed primarily for maritime travel and military officers campaign kit. The aromatic wood was favoured because its natural oils repelled moths and insects, making them ideal for storing textiles on long sea voyages.

These trunks were constructed using solid Asian camphor wood, often bound with flush-fitting brass or iron hardware to survive transport. Internal till trays, recessed handles, and heavy-duty latches are standard construction elements.

Authentic pieces typically feature hand-cut dovetail joints, recessed or flush metal fittings designed to prevent damage during transit, and a distinct, lingering camphor aroma when the lid is opened.

A camphorwood trunk functions effectively as a central coffee table in a living room, at the foot of a bed for linens, or as a decorative storage coffer in an entryway.

Keep the chest away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent wood shrinkage and cracking. Treat the exterior with high-quality beeswax paste polish, taking care to avoid harsh chemical cleaners on original metal hardware.
