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

Continental coffers originated as essential storage chests across mainland Europe, used primarily for holding linens, clothing, and valuables. During the eighteenth century, these items frequently incorporated regional carving traditions, including Gothic tracery and relief patterns.

These chests were typically built using durable dense hardwoods such as chestnut or oak, chosen for their strength and resistance to decay. Ironmongery, including hand-forged strap hinges, lockplates, and side carrying handles, provided structure and security.

Authentic period coffers feature hand-sawn timber marks, peg construction rather than modern screws, and uneven natural wear around the base and handles. Iron components usually display dark surface oxidisation and signs of manual forging.

A carved coffer functions well as a focal storage piece placed at the foot of a bed, in an entryway, or positioned along a living room wall. Its dark timber tone and carved texture provide visual contrast when paired with contemporary neutral upholstery.

Dust the surface regularly with a soft dry cloth and apply a high-quality beeswax polish once or twice a year to preserve the timber polish. Keep the item away from direct heat sources and maintain a stable humidity level to prevent wood movement or splitting.
