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 leather steamer trunk is a sturdy, flat-topped luggage chest designed during the late 19th and early 20th centuries for long-distance travel aboard steamships and trains.

These trunks were constructed using thick hide leather stretched over a wooden frame, reinforced with stitched leather corners, riveted brass hardware, and lined inside with heavy cotton canvas or linen.

Authentic pieces feature thick hand-stitched leather seams, solid brass or iron latches, historical surface wear, original travel stickers or initials, and heavy construction rather than modern lightweight materials.

A vintage leather trunk can serve as an occasional coffee table in a living area, a decorative storage vessel at the foot of a bed, or a feature piece in a study.

Keep the leather away from direct heat and damp environments, brush away surface dust, and periodically apply a high-quality leather balm to prevent drying and cracking.
