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

Camphor wood chests have historically been utilised for centuries in East Asia and by European traders for maritime travel, prized for their natural insect-repellent properties.

These chests are traditionally constructed from solid camphor wood, frequently featuring dovetailed joints, brass or iron strap hinges, and carved relief ornamentation.

Authentic pieces generally display hand-cut dovetails, aged metal hardware with oxidisation, characteristic natural grain patterns, and a distinct aromatic scent.

A wooden chest functions effectively as a functional coffee table in a living room, providing hidden storage while introducing texture and historical contrast.

Preservation involves dusting with a dry microfibre cloth, avoiding harsh chemical polishes, and occasionally lightly sanding the interior to reactivate the natural aroma.
