Dealers Notes

**************************************

Shipping

Other than a few smaller items that can be safely posted, nearly all items are hand delivered (and set up in the case of clocks) by Martin Bros who are one of Britain’s most prestigious carriers of antiques and fine art. I wish us avoid the hassle of cheap men and their vans! The standard (subsidised) delivery price shown is for mainland UK excluding Scotland. Please ask for a Quotation where the standard price is not applicable.

**************************************

Restoration and Presented Condition

I do not subscribe to the shabby chic or make it like new approach using modern materials which can make future restoration extremely difficult and impede long-term investment value.

Any restoration work is done to the highest (museum) standards using traditional materials so as to not compromise the patina of age.

Accordingly, please note some antique items for sale will have wear and marks associated with use over many generations that adds to the aesthetic beauty of the piece from the collector’s perspective.

**************************************

Fine Art - Condition

All Paintings offered have been chosen for their excellent original condition, with where necessary museum standard cleaning, restoration and revarnishing. Presented in Gallery condition they are ready to hang for many generations, before cleaning / revarnishing may be necessary.

**************************************

Any Questions?

I just love acquiring and talking about antiques and fine art so will be pleased to discuss any of the items I have for sale on UK 07515 741344 or Richard.lench1956@gmail.com.

Best wishes Richard

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

Japanning is a European imitation of East Asian lacquerwork that became highly popular during the 18th and early 19th centuries, involving multiple layers of dark varnish decorated with hand-applied gilt detail.

These tables typically feature a solid timber frame, often mahogany or pine, coated with spirit lacquers or resins and finished with detailed gold leaf or bronze powder gilding.

Authentic 19th-century pieces usually exhibit fine surface craquelure, subtle wear to raised gilded areas, traditional mortise and tenon joinery, and evidence of historical varnish layering.

Position the table beside contemporary soft seating or an armchair to create visual contrast between the glossy dark finish and modern upholstery textures.

Dust gently using a soft dry microfibre cloth, avoid applying harsh chemical polishes or water, and position the piece away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent cracking.
