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

Meiji period export furniture, produced between 1868 and 1912, was created specifically for international markets seeking decorative eastern design. These pieces feature deeply carved timber surfaces decorated with traditional floral and mythical motifs, such as irises, chrysanthemums, and dragons.

Craftsmen typically utilised dense, durable hardwoods such as keyaki, teak, or rosewood to allow for high-relief hand carving. Construction relied on traditional mortise and tenon joinery, hand-planed components, and polished dark wood finishes.

Authentic pieces display hand-carved details with minor variations in relief depth, traditional joinery techniques, and natural age-related shrinkage at the timber joints. Look for intact original surfaces and characteristic floral or geometric borders integrated into the desk superstructure.

Position the desk as a focal feature in a quiet study, hallway, or living space to contrast its ornate carved texture against plain walls. Pair it with neutral contemporary seating and understated brass lighting to balance the heavy visual weight of the wood.

Dust the detailed carvings regularly using a soft, dry brush to prevent dirt accumulation in hard-to-reach recesses. Apply a clear beeswax polish once or twice a year to nourish the timber and protect the original surface finish.
