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 plank coffer, also known as a board chest, is an early form of storage furniture constructed from solid wood planks joined together, widely used throughout the 17th century for holding household textiles and valuables.

Early coffers were constructed from thick, solid oak boards fastened using hand-forged iron nails or wooden pegs, often finished with simple moulded details and hand-hammered iron lock plates.

Genuine period coffers exhibit subtle hand-sawn tool marks, original hand-wrought metalwork, dark oxidisation around iron fastenings, and a deep, uneven age-earned patina.

An antique oak coffer can be positioned at the foot of a bed, placed along an entryway wall, or used as a characterful coffee table to introduce warmth and historic texture into contemporary rooms.

Maintain early oak furniture by applying a quality clear beeswax polish once or twice per year, keeping the wood away from extreme humidity changes or direct heat sources, and dusting regularly with a dry cloth.
