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

Campaign furniture refers to wooden furnishings specifically constructed to be packed down, protected, and transported easily by military officers during foreign expeditions in the 18th and 19th centuries.

Camphor wood was preferred for maritime and colonial trunks due to its natural aromatic oils, which repelled insects, resisted humidity, and prevented mold during long ocean voyages.

Authentic campaign trunks feature flush-fitting brass hardware, flush corner brackets, hand-dovetailed joints, and recessed carrying handles designed to prevent snagging during transit.

A campaign trunk functions effectively as a coffee table, end-of-bed storage unit, or hallway accent piece, adding warmth and historical texture to modern schemes.

Maintain the finish by dusting with a soft cloth and applying a clear beeswax polish periodically, while avoiding harsh chemical cleaners and direct heat sources.
