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 Dutch East Indies coffer is a storage chest produced during the 17th to 19th centuries in Southeast Asia, combining European furniture forms with indigenous tropical hardwoods and decorative metalwork.

These coffers typically feature dense tropical hardwoods such as padouk, teak, or ebony, reinforced with cast or pierced brass corner mounts, escutcheons, and side carrying handles.

Authentic examples exhibit hand-cut joinery, heavy hand-chased brass hardware, and dense hardwoods showing natural wear and age-related patination around keyholes and handles.

A colonial coffer functions as an accent piece when displayed atop a sideboard, positioned on a deep window sill, or placed on a console table in an entryway.

Dust the timber surfaces regularly using a clean, soft cloth and apply beeswax sparingly, ensuring brass fittings remain dry and free from chemical abrasives to preserve the surface finish.
