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

Traditionally crafted in China, camphor trunks were used to store valuable textiles, silks, and clothing because the natural aromatic oils in camphor wood act as an effective moth repellent.

These chests are constructed from solid camphor wood or camphor-lined timber, featuring hand-carved relief panels and fitted with decorative brass backplates and latch hardware.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-chiselled relief scenes detailing landscape or figurative narratives, dovetail joinery, original brass lock plates, and a distinct, persistent camphor aroma inside.

A carved trunk works effectively as a statement coffee table in a living room, positioned at the foot of a bed for linen storage, or placed in an entryway to anchor the space.

Dust the carved crevices regularly using a soft brush, keep the timber away from direct heat sources to prevent timber movement, and apply clear beeswax polish occasionally to nourish the wood finish.
