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

Carved wooden coffers were historically used across European and colonial households as primary storage vessels for textiles, linens, and valuables prior to the widespread adoption of fitted cabinetry.

19th-century trunks were primarily constructed from solid hardwoods such as oak, mahogany, or teak, joined using traditional dovetail or mortise and tenon joinery, often featuring hand-carved relief decoration.

Authentic 19th-century chests typically feature hand-cut joinery, slight irregularities from manual chiselling, period-appropriate keyholes or locks, and natural wear consistent with aged timber.

A carved antique trunk functions effectively as a focal coffee table in a living room, a blanket chest at the foot of a bed, or a functional storage bench within an entryway.

To preserve hardwood furniture, keep it away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent timber shrinkage or splitting, and apply a high-quality beeswax polish annually to maintain the patination.
