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

A Chinese horseshoe back armchair, traditionally known as a quanyi, is characterised by a continuous sweeping crest rail that forms both the backrest and the armrests. The design typically incorporates a carved central back splat and integrated apron framing beneath the seat.

These chairs are predominantly crafted from dense hardwoods such as elm, rosewood, or zitan, and finished with organic tree sap lacquer. They rely entirely on complex mortise and tenon joinery without the use of metal nails or screws.

Authentic period examples exhibit precise hand-cut mortise and tenon joints, natural wear patterns around footrests and arm terminals, and genuine lacquer patination that displays subtle crazing or shrinkage over time.

A Chinese armchair works well as a sculptural statement piece in a hallway, office, or living room corner. Pairing its structured wooden silhouette against soft modern textiles or neutral walls highlights its architectural form.

Dust the surface regularly with a soft, dry lint-free cloth. Keep the item away from direct heat sources and extreme humidity fluctuations to prevent the wood from warping and the lacquer from cracking.
