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

During the 17th century, joined oak coffers served as the primary form of household storage across Britain and Europe. Constructed by joiners using mortise and tenon frames, these pieces were designed to store household linens, valuables, and clothing prior to the widespread adoption of chests of drawers.

Authentic period coffers were crafted from solid timber, typically native oak, using mortise and tenon joints held together with wooden pegs. Front panels were often decorated with hand-carved geometric or botanical motifs, with simple iron hinges and lockplates securing the hinged top.

Authentic pieces display evidence of hand-planing, irregular tool marks, and wooden peg construction rather than modern nails or screws. Look for natural shrinkage across wide timber boards, dark oxidation near iron hardware, and wear patterns consistent with centuries of use.

A period oak coffer can be positioned at the foot of a bed or along an entrance hallway to add depth and historical character. Pairing the dark timber with neutral upholstery, contemporary art, or simple linen textiles creates a balanced contrast between old and modern elements.

Dust regularly with a soft, dry cloth and apply a high-quality beeswax polish once or twice a year to nourish the timber and protect the original patina. Keep the piece away from direct heat sources and humid environments to prevent timber warping or cracking.
