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

Chinese Chippendale furniture features European cabinetmaking techniques blended with Eastern architectural elements, including fretwork galleries, pagoda-style finials, geometric lattice patterns, and Chinoiserie relief carvings.

Desks from this era were primarily constructed using dense hardwoods such as mahogany or rosewood, often featuring cast brass swan-neck handles, hand-cut dovetail drawer joints, and detailed wood carvings.

Authentic pieces display hand-carved decorative motifs, hand-planed drawer bottoms, original cast brass hardware, and natural signs of timber shrinkage or oxidisation consistent with age.

Position the desk as a focal point in a dedicated study or library, pairing it with neutral upholstery, understated modern lighting, and classical desk accessories to balance the detailed woodwork.

Preserve the timber by dusting regularly with a soft cloth, applying a high-quality beeswax polish annually, and keeping the item away from direct sunlight and central heating radiators.
