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

Produced during the 18th and 19th centuries, these trunks were crafted in China specifically for Western traders and sea captains, featuring aromatic camphor wood interiors designed to repel insects during long ocean voyages.

These trunks typically feature a camphor wood core clad in dark hide or leather, reinforced with brass corner brackets, brass studs, and flush-fitting brass hardware designed to withstand maritime travel.

Authentic pieces generally exhibit a distinct aromatic camphor scent inside, hand-cut dovetail joints, original brass studding with natural oxidisation, and hand-forged brass lock plates and side handles.

Position the trunk as a statement storage coffer at the foot of a bed, style it atop a sideboard or console table, or place it in a study to store documents and textiles.

Maintain the leather by dusting regularly and applying a specialised leather conditioner sparingly, keeping the piece away from direct heat sources while allowing the brass fittings to retain their natural aged patina.
