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.
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.
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.

Designed for British armed forces officers during transport, campaign chests feature modular two-part construction, protective brass corners, and flush handles to prevent damage during transit.

Historically, high-grade mahogany, teak, or camphor wood were favoured for their durability, complemented by solid brass corner brackets, flush brass hardware, and hand-dovetailed drawer joints.

Authentic examples typically split into two separate halves for portability, feature inset brass handles that sit flush with the timber, and often include recessed carry handles on the sides.

Integrate this piece into a study or bedroom as a multi-functional desk and storage unit, combining rich timber tones with contemporary lighting or dark leather accenting.

Maintain the timber by dusting regularly with a soft dry cloth, applying beeswax polish periodically along the grain, and avoiding direct sunlight or high humidity.
