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

Originating primarily in China and Hong Kong during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, carved camphor wood chests were widely produced as export items for Western markets and sailors. The natural aromatic properties of camphor wood made them ideal for storing woollens and linens, offering protection against moths and insects.

These chests are typically crafted from solid camphor wood or lined with camphor and faced with hardwoods such as teak or rosewood. Construction involves hand-cut dovetail or tongue-and-groove joinery, complemented by deep relief hand-carving along the panels and top.

Authentic period pieces exhibit hand-carved depth with slight variations in motif details, age-appropriate timber oxidisation, and a distinct camphor scent internally. Looking at the underside and interior reveals hand-worked timber surfaces and traditional brass or iron fittings.

A carved coffer functions as a statement piece in a hallway, at the foot of a bed, or as a central coffee table in a living area. Its rich texture balances minimalist contemporary decor or complements dark wood scheme settings.

Maintain the timber by dusting regularly with a dry, lint-free microfibre cloth and applying a clear beeswax polish periodically along the grain. Keep the piece away from direct radiator heat sources and direct sunlight to prevent timber movement or cracking.
