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

Camphor wood chests are maritime storage trunks constructed from Cinnamomum camphora timber, historically used by sea captains, traders, and military officers during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.

The natural oils in camphor wood produce a distinct aromatic scent that deters moths and other insects, effectively protecting clothing, linens, and paper documents from decay during long sea voyages.

Authentic period chests typically feature hand-cut dovetail joints, flush-fitted brass corner brackets designed to withstand ship movement, brass carrying handles, and a lingering aromatic camphor fragrance inside.

A camphor chest functions effectively as a coffee table in a living room, at the foot of a bed for linen storage, or as a focal storage piece within an entrance hall.

Keep the timber away from direct heat sources to prevent cracking, clean with a soft dry cloth, and apply a high-quality beeswax polish periodically to nourish the wood finish.
