Why Sellingantiques dated this piece to THE GEORGIAN ERA:
Hand-forged iron strap hinges with tapered ends: blacksmith work before factory-made hinges.
Single wide elm boards: timber cut from broad, slow-grown mature trees.

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 in the 18th and early 19th centuries, a Georgian elm blanket box is a functional timber chest featuring a hinged lid, simple rectangular form, and heavy iron carry handles.

These coffers were primarily constructed from solid English hardwoods such as elm or oak, secured with hand-dovetailed joints and fitted with wrought iron side handles and keyhole escutcheons.

Authentic Georgian coffers feature hand-sawn timber marks, original iron hardware showing natural oxidisation, hand-cut dovetails, and genuine age-related wear to the base and corners.

A solid timber coffer functions as a low coffee table in a living room, storage at the foot of a bed, or a functional entry bench in contemporary homes.

Dust the surface regularly with a soft cloth and apply a high-quality beeswax polish twice yearly to nourish the wood and protect the original finish.
