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 coffer bach, meaning small chest in Welsh, is a traditional regional storage chest featuring a lift-up lid, fielded panels, and frequently a single bottom drawer.

These chests were constructed primarily from native Welsh oak, utilising mortise-and-tenon joinery, wooden pegs, hand-shaped fielded panels, and cast brass hardware.

Authentic period examples display pegged joinery, hand-planed timber surfaces, historic oxidisation around iron or brass fittings, and natural wear to the base and lock area.

A coffer bach functions as a tabletop storage accent on a sideboard, a decorative feature on a deep window sill, or a compact storage piece in an entryway.

Preserve the timber by dusting with a dry microfibre cloth and periodically applying natural beeswax polish, ensuring the piece remains away from direct heat sources.
