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

Historically crafted across regions such as Rajasthan and Gujarat, iron-bound trunks were constructed from solid hardwoods and reinforced with heavy iron strapping to store valuable textiles, jewellery, and household heirlooms securely.

These trunks typically feature dense native timber bound with latticed wrought iron straps, secured using hand-forged iron rivets or studs, and fitted with side drop-ring handles and iron latches.

Authentic pieces display hand-hammered iron studs, hand-cut metal strapping, minor irregularities from manual forging, natural surface oxidisation on the ironwork, and genuine wear on the underlying timber.

An iron-bound trunk functions as a low coffee table in a living area, positioned at the foot of a bed for linen storage, or placed in an entryway to add visual weight and historic texture.

Dust the surface regularly with a dry cloth, apply clear microcrystalline wax to protect the metalwork from rust, and keep the trunk in a dry environment with stable humidity to prevent timber movement.
