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.

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

A coal purdonium is a specialised wooden box or cabinet featuring a sloped hatch door, designed during the nineteenth century to conceal coal and coal dust beside a domestic fireplace.

They were typically crafted from hardwoods such as mahogany, oak, or walnut, complemented by brass carrying handles and corner mounts, with an internal removable metal liner.

Authentic nineteenth-century examples feature hand-dovetailed construction, original brassware with natural oxidisation, internal zinc or sheet iron liners showing age, and historic wood movement.

In contemporary settings, these containers serve as practical stores for wood kindling or firelighters beside a log burner, or as distinctive accent furniture in living rooms.

Apply natural beeswax polish to the timber along the grain, wipe brass mounts with a soft cloth to avoid stripping aged patina, and protect the interior when storing heavy or damp contents.
