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.
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.
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.

Famille Rose porcelain is defined by its overglaze enamel palette introduced in the 18th century, dominated by opaque rose-pink shades derived from colloidal gold. Nineteenth-century pieces frequently feature detailed figurative scenes, floral patterns, and insect motifs applied over a clear white glaze.

Ginger jars were originally hand-thrown from high-fired kaolin clay, decorated with enamel glazes, and fitted with flat ceramic lids. During the 19th and 20th centuries, many were drilled at the base to accommodate electrical wiring and mounted onto wooden or bronze plinths to serve as table lamps.

Authentic pieces display hand-painted enamel brushwork with slight variations in colour density and texture. Inspection of the porcelain base often reveals irregularities in the foot rim, minor firing imperfections, and evidence of historical drilling for electrical conversions.

Positioning the lamps symmetrically on a sideboard, console table, or bedside cabinets creates balance. Their intricate polychrome patterns pair effectively with muted backdrop walls, natural wood furniture, and textured fabric lampshades.

Dust the porcelain bodies regularly using a dry, soft microfibre cloth or brush. Avoid applying chemical cleaners or immersing converted lamps in water, as moisture can damage the electrical fittings, wooden bases, and historic enamels.
