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.

Authentic pieces exhibit period-appropriate tool marks, hand-wrought iron or wooden hinges, timber shrinkage consistent with age, and structural wear patterns around touchpoints.

Traditional coffers are constructed from native hardwoods or softwoods such as oak, pine, or elm, typically utilizing pegged mortise and tenon joinery and hand-planed boards.

Coffer benches evolved from utility chests used in European households for storing valuables, textiles, and provisions, eventually incorporating a backrest to serve as dual-purpose seating in communal halls.
