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 regional India, these heavy timber trunks were created to store dowry items, textiles, grain, or household valuables. Built from teak to resist humidity and pests, they were often mounted on thick wooden wheels to allow easy movement across earthen floors.

These chests were constructed using solid teak wood joined with dovetail or lap joints, reinforced with hand-forged iron straps, corner brackets, and heavy latches. The ironwork provided structural strength against heavy loads and security during transit.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-hammered iron fittings, original iron rivets, natural wood shrinkage lines, and hand-carved wooden wheels. Oxidisation on the metalwork and genuine wear patterns around the iron latches further indicate historical age.

A large wooden trunk functions effectively as a focal coffee table in a living room or as storage at the foot of a bed. Its rich timber tone contrasts well with modern minimalist upholstery and contemporary architectural elements.

Maintain the timber by dusting regularly with a soft cloth and applying a clear beeswax paste once or twice a year. Keep the item in a dry indoor environment to prevent excess rust on the iron fittings and to prevent the wood from warping.
