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

A camphor wood chest is a sturdy storage trunk constructed from the wood of the Cinnamomum camphora tree, commonly crafted during the nineteenth century for maritime travel and military campaigns.

These chests are typically constructed from solid camphor timber, fitted with flush brass corner brackets, brass strapping, and iron or brass carrying handles for transport.

Authentic period pieces display a distinctive aromatic scent, hand-cut dovetail joinery, heavy flush-mounted brass hardware, and natural timber grain variation.

A large camphor chest serves as a functional coffee table in a living room, an end-of-bed linen store in a bedroom, or a focal accent piece in a hallway.

Keep the timber clean by dusting with a soft cloth and applying a neutral beeswax paste, avoiding placement directly adjacent to central heating sources.
