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 Victorian brass bound trunk is a heavy-duty wooden storage chest reinforced with brass corner brackets and metal bands, originally produced during the nineteenth century for travel and secure transport.

These trunks were typically constructed with a solid timber carcass wrapped in canvas, leather, or heavy fabric, completed with brass or iron rivets, locks, and protective corner plates.

Authentic period examples exhibit original cast metal hardware, hand-riveted studs, historical owner initials or shipping labels, and natural oxidisation across the metal fittings.

An antique trunk serves effectively as a central coffee table, a storage unit placed at the foot of a bed, or a functional accent piece in an entryway.

Maintain the trunk by storing it in a dry environment, dusting gently with a soft dry cloth, and preserving metal fittings using microcrystalline wax rather than abrasive cleaners.
