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

Traditionally crafted in regions like Kerala and Gujarat, an Indian dowry chest or casket was given to a bride to hold her valuables, textiles, and jewellery during her wedding.

These chests are typically constructed from durable hardwoods such as teak or rosewood, adorned with pierced brass straps, decorative rivets, and cast brass mountings.

Authentic examples feature hand-hammered brass fittings, hand-carved wood joinery, natural aged patina, and subtle irregularities consistent with age rather than uniform machine finishing.

Place the casket on a console table, sideboard, or mantelpiece as a sculptural accent piece that adds global heritage and rich texture to contemporary spaces.

Dust the wood regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and polish gently with beeswax, taking care to avoid harsh chemical cleaners on the brass fittings to preserve the natural patina.
