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

Popularised in Europe during the late 17th and early 18th centuries, japanned cabinets are wooden storage chests decorated with European imitation lacquer techniques inspired by East Asian lacquerware, elevated on carved or gilded frames.

These items typically feature resin-based spirit or oil varnishes applied over timber substrates, accented with painted gilt decoration, engraved brass corner mounts, hinges, and carved giltwood or walnut supporting bases.

Authentic period examples exhibit natural fine craquelure across the lacquer finish, hand-engraved brass decorative hardware, historical joinery techniques such as hand-cut dovetails, and genuine age-related surface patina.

A decorative cabinet on stand serves as a focal piece in a hallway, drawing room, or study, creating visual interest when contrasted against plain walls and minimalist interior architecture.

Maintain stable humidity levels and avoid direct sunlight exposure to prevent surface lifting or cracking, dusting gently using a clean dry microfibre cloth without liquid polish or chemical solvents.
