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.

FAQs

Campaign trunks were specifically designed and constructed for military officers and travellers in the 18th and 19th centuries, built for durability and ease of transport during expeditions.

These trunks were typically crafted from sturdy exotic hardwoods such as camphor or teak, chosen for their insect-repellent properties and resilience, and reinforced with brass corners and straps.

Authentic pieces often feature recessed flush brass handles, dovetailed joints, and signs of hand-craftsmanship, alongside the characteristic aromatic scent of aged camphor wood.

A campaign trunk makes an excellent coffee table or end-of-bed storage solution, bringing texture and historical character to contemporary living spaces.

Maintain the wood by keeping it away from direct heat sources and direct sunlight, occasionally nourishing the surface with natural beeswax to preserve the finish.
