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.

This Jacobean Revival coffer belongs to the 1910 period and is constructed from repolished dark brown oak with pegged joinery. The rectangular furniture piece has a hinged top with carved inlay decoration that lifts to provide storage. The front elevation comprises three recessed panels displaying hand-carved rosette motifs and geometric lozenge carving, flanked by carved upright stiles, while the sides feature plain inset panels. The structure stands on simple square legs and exhibits traditional moulding along the framing. The item measures 50.5 cm high, 90.5 cm wide, and 45 cm deep, with internal storage dimensions of 81 cm wide, 35 cm deep, and 40 cm high. Suitable for placement in a hallway, bedroom, or living space, it functions as practical storage for blankets, linens, or household items while serving as a decorative accent in an English Country House interior.

FAQs

A coffer is a traditional wooden storage chest fitted with a hinged lid, historically crafted to hold linens, textiles, and household valuables in European homes.

Traditional oak coffers were built using solid native timbers joined with wooden pegs, mortise and tenon joints, and featuring hand-carved decorative panels along the front and sides.

Authentic period coffers display historic construction indicators, including hand-hewn timber surfaces, pegged joinery, hand-forged iron strap hinges, and natural wear patterns on high-touch areas.

A carved oak coffer functions effectively as hallway storage, a coffee table in a living space, or a bench placed at the foot of a bed.

To preserve the timber, keep the coffer away from direct heat sources and apply a natural beeswax polish periodically to maintain moisture balance and surface finish.
