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

Antique trunks and coffers date back to medieval times when they served as the primary method for storing and transporting valuable household possessions, textiles, and documents.

These pieces were typically constructed from solid domestic timber such as oak, joined using traditional pegged mortise and tenon joints, and reinforced with hand-wrought iron straps and hinges.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-cut dovetails, adze marks, hand-forged ironwork with irregular surface textures, and natural timber shrinkage consistent with age.

An antique trunk works well as a functional coffee table in a living room, adding texture and historical contrast to contemporary furnishings.

Maintain stable indoor humidity levels, keep the wood away from direct heat sources, and occasionally apply a traditional beeswax polish to nourish the grain.
