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.

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

Cabin trunks were developed in the late 19th and early 20th centuries specifically to fit underneath steamship berths or train bunks during transatlantic and long-distance travel.

These trunks were typically constructed from wood frames covered in heavy-duty canvas, reinforced with metal or timber slats, and secured with brass catches and leather handles.

Authentic pieces feature period brass catches, riveted metal trim, reinforced corners, and original shipping labels or stencils from liner companies and ports of call.

Vintage trunks can be styled as unique coffee tables, stacked in an empty corner as decorative side tables, or placed at the foot of a bed for secondary storage.

Clean canvas gently with a dry soft brush, polish brass fittings with dedicated metal cleaner, and store in a dry room to prevent mould and metal oxidisation.
