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.

This 19th century Jacobean style coffer is made from dark brown oak with iron hardware, measuring 92.5 cm high, 126 cm wide, and 55 cm deep. The piece has a hinged lid opening to a spacious interior featuring a candle box, while the exterior displays a panelled front with rosette and foliage carving, a keyhole escutcheon, and raised legs connected by straight stretchers. Surface wear includes age-related marks, scratches to the timber, fading on the base, and treated historic woodworm marks. Suitable for an English country house interior, the coffer functions well in a living room, hallway, or bedroom for storage of blankets, linens, or household items. The sturdy timber construction and raised base allow it to sit comfortably against a wall or serve as a practical surface in traditional settings.

FAQs

A coffer is a wooden storage chest featuring a hinged lid and panelled sides, historically used for storing linens, clothing, and valuables in European homes from the medieval period through the seventeenth century.

Traditional coffers were constructed from native solid timber, primarily oak, using pegged mortise and tenon joinery, frame-and-panel construction, and hand-carved relief decoration.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-hewn timber surfaces, wooden peg fixings, structural wear consistent with age around the base and lid, and an irregular oxidised patina on the wood grain.

An oak coffer functions effectively as a hallway seating bench, a storage chest at the foot of a bed, or a central accent piece in a living room.

Maintain the timber by keeping the coffer away from direct heat sources and applying a neutral beeswax polish annually to protect the surface patina.
