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.

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

An oak coffer is a joiner-made storage chest featuring a hinged lid, widely produced across Britain and Europe from the medieval period through the 18th century. These utilitarian pieces were designed to hold linens, textiles, and household valuables.

18th-century coffers were constructed using pegged mortise and tenon joinery, which allowed solid oak panels to expand and contract without splitting. The structure uses floating floating-field panels set inside a heavy timber frame, capped with a hinged top.

Authentic period examples display hand-planed surfaces, visible wooden dowel pegs, hand-carved motifs, and slight variations in board thickness. Historic wear around the base and original iron loop hinges or lock plates also point to period origin.

A carved oak coffer functions well at the foot of a bed, as a hallway bench, or as an occasional table in a living space. Placing historic carved timber alongside clean contemporary textiles creates a balanced contrast.

Maintain original patination by dusting regularly with a clean cloth and applying a light coat of beeswax paste once a year. Avoid silicone-based polishes and keep the piece away from direct heat sources to prevent wood shrinkage.
