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.

This nineteenth century Middle Eastern box takes the form of a rectangular trunk made from hardwood fully encased in muted brass sheeting. The exterior features intricately engraved floral scrolling across the surface, paired with dark rectangular central panels on the lid and front, iron latches and hasps, drop side handles, and small bracket feet supporting the base. The hinged half lid opens to access the interior. Measuring 35 cm high, 61 cm wide, and 45 cm deep, this lidded chest sits practically upon a floor, desk, or low table, serving as a storage container for books, papers, or small household items in a gentleman's library, study, or living space.

FAQs

Historically utilised across the Arabian Peninsula, South Asia, and East Africa for storing valuables and textiles, these chests feature dense hardwood construction encased or reinforced with decorative brass sheeting and metal fittings.

Construction usually relies on durable hardwoods such as teak or rosewood, overlaid with hand-engossed or pierced sheet brass, and secured using brass studs alongside iron hinges and latches.

Authentic pieces feature hand-cut joinery, hand-punched or engraved repeating patterns on the brass cladding, heavy drop-side handles, and natural surface oxidisation across the metal components.

Position the chest as a focal storage piece in an entryway, use it at the foot of a bed for linens, or style it as a central coffee table to add global historical character and rich texture.

Dust regularly with a dry, soft cloth and avoid chemical metal cleaners that strip protective patination; apply microcrystalline wax sparingly to preserve both timber and brass surfaces.
