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

Historically crafted across the Indian subcontinent for storing textiles, valuables, or household goods, these trunks often served as dowry chests or voyage trunks during the colonial period.

Authentic examples were constructed from dense indigenous hardwoods such as teak or rosewood, reinforced with hand-forged iron or brass straps, corner brackets, and clasps.

Genuine period pieces display hand-cut joinery, hand-beaten metalwork with slight irregularities, natural timber oxidation, and wear patterns around handle mounts and hinges.

Large trunks function effectively as central coffee tables in living areas, storage benches at the foot of a bed, or statement storage solutions in wide entrance hallways.

Maintain the timber by dusting regularly with a soft cloth and applying a clear beeswax polish annually, while avoiding placement near direct heat sources to prevent timber movement.
