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 chests and boxes were designed for British military officers travelling throughout the British Empire during the 18th and 19th centuries, engineered to dismantle or withstand rigorous transport.

These pieces are typically constructed from durable, insect-resistant timbers such as camphor wood or teak, reinforced with brass corners, straps, and recessed carrying handles to protect against impact.

Authentic pieces exhibit period-appropriate joinery, hand-cut dovetails, genuine patina on the timber, cast brass hardware rather than stamped metal, and traditional hand-forged screws or fixings.

A wooden chest functions effectively as a coffee table in a living room, an end-of-bed storage solution in a bedroom, or as a statement accent piece in an entryway.

Preserve the timber by keeping it out of direct sunlight, avoiding extreme humidity fluctuations, and periodically feeding the wood with natural beeswax to maintain its condition.
