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

Traditional Chinese hardwood furniture is characterised by balanced symmetry, complex joinery, and symbolic carvings, often featuring fretwork motifs and central emblem splats derived from Qing and Ming Dynasty architectural styles.

These armchairs are constructed from dense hardwoods using traditional mortise-and-tenon frame-and-panel joinery, allowing the timber to expand and contract naturally without relying on metal fasteners.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-carved decorative splats, clear mortise-and-tenon joints, rich wood grain patination, and smooth wear patterns consistent with age along the armrests and stretchers.

Positioning a pair of Chinese armchairs symmetrically opposite a sofa or flanking a side console creates a balanced, structural focal point within modern or eclectic interior schemes.

Keep the wood away from direct heat sources and intense sunlight to avoid timber shrinkage or cracking, dust regularly with a dry microfibre cloth, and apply natural beeswax polish periodically.
