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 trunks were utilised by military officers and travellers during the 18th and 19th centuries to transport personal belongings easily across long distances, often featuring robust construction to withstand arduous journeys.

These pieces typically incorporate foundational woods such as camphor or pine, which are frequently clad in leather, canvas, or hide, and accented with brass hardware, locks, and studding for durability.

Authentic period trunks exhibit hand-beaten brass tacks, period-specific lock mechanisms, dovetail joinery where visible, and natural ageing of the materials such as patina on the leather and oxidation on the metal.

An antique trunk functions effectively as a coffee table in a living room or at the foot of a bed, providing both a focal design element and concealed storage for blankets and linens.

Leather should be treated periodically with specialist museum-grade wax to prevent drying, while brass components can be gently cleaned with a soft cloth, avoiding harsh chemical polishes that strip historical patina.
