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.
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.
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.

A 17th-century oak coffer is a framed wooden storage chest with a hinged lid, constructed primarily from native oak and used historically to store bedding, clothing, and household goods.

These coffers were crafted using traditional joinery, featuring mortise and tenon joints secured with wooden pegs, alongside hand-carved decorative panels and moulded frames.

Authentic period coffers show signs of hand-planed timber, peg joinery, natural timber shrinkage over time, and hand-carved detailing such as lunettes, rosettes, or foliate designs.

A carved oak coffer works well positioned at the foot of a bed, placed in an entrance hall for concealed storage, or used as a central anchor piece in a traditional living room.

Keep the oak away from modern heat sources and damp conditions, dust regularly with a clean microfibre cloth, and apply beeswax polish occasionally to preserve the original finish.
