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 campaign chest is a modular piece of portable furniture designed specifically to be dismantled into two sections and transported by military officers during journeys or field operations in the 18th and 19th centuries.

These pieces were predominantly crafted from dense hardwoods such as mahogany, teak, or camphor wood, fitted with protective brass corner mounts and countersunk brass handles to prevent damage during transit.

Authentic campaign chests typically split horizontally into two portable halves, feature recessed brass hardware, flush side handles, and screw-in turned feet designed for simple disassembly.

Position the chest in a bedroom, living room, or study as a functional focal piece, pairing its rich wood tone and brass detailing with contemporary artwork, textured linens, or minimal decorative accents.

Dust the surfaces regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and apply a clear beeswax polish annually along the wood grain, ensuring brass fittings remain unvarnished and clean without abrasive polish.
