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

Popularised during the Georgian and Regency periods, sarcophagus wine coolers are tapered wooden chests inspired by ancient Egyptian and Roman sarcophagi, crafted to hold ice and wine bottles in formal dining rooms.

Fine examples were typically crafted from solid mahogany or rosewood, often featuring lead linings for insulation, alongside cast brass handles and hand-carved wood feet.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-cut dovetail joinery, natural patination on the mahogany, period-appropriate brass hardware with light oxidisation, and classical architectural proportions.

These versatile chests function well as statement occasional tables, unique storage boxes, or side accent furniture in a traditional hallway or dining space.

Preserve the timber by keeping it away from direct heat sources and bright sunlight, dusting regularly with a soft cloth, and applying beeswax polish sparingly to maintain the natural lustre.
