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

In 17th-century Europe, coffers served as primary storage furniture for textiles, linens, and valuables prior to the widespread adoption of chests of drawers. Often crafted from regional hardwoods such as oak, these robust containers featured carved decoration reflecting localized folk styles and artisan woodworking techniques.

Seventeenth-century coffers were constructed using solid native oak boards, joined with wooden pegs, mortise and tenon joints, or hand-forged iron nails. Decorative motifs, such as geometric lunettes or stylized arches, were carved directly into the timber, accompanied by hand-hammered iron lockplates and strap hinges.

Authentic period coffers exhibit hand-sawn timber marks, uneven wear around contact points, and natural wood shrinkage accrued over centuries. The back and base panels typically show rough-hewn oak textures alongside hand-forged iron hardware displaying natural oxidisation.

A carved oak coffer provides strong tactile contrast when positioned in an entryway, living area, or at the foot of a bed. Designers frequently juxtapose the heavy timber and rich surface character against minimalist neutral walls and understated contemporary textiles.

To preserve early oak, position the piece away from direct heat sources and fluctuating humidity to prevent timber movement or cracking. Regular dusting with a soft microfibre cloth and an occasional application of beeswax polish will safeguard the historic patina.
