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 bitong is a cylindrical vessel designed to hold calligraphy and painting brushes on a traditional Chinese scholars desk. They evolved during the Ming and Qing dynasties into significant decorative art objects reflecting literary tastes.

Craftsmen typically utilised dense hardwoods such as zitan, huanghuali, and hongmu, alongside materials like bamboo, boxwood, and sandalwood, chosen for their natural grain and structural durability.

Authentic pieces generally display subtle signs of age such as natural patination, slight shrinkage around joints or rims, hand-carving tool marks, and dense, heavy timber grain rather than lightweight modern composites.

These decorative objects function well when displayed on an office desk, mantelpiece, or bookshelf, serving as historical accents alongside modern stationery, books, or minimalist ceramics.

Dust regularly with a soft, dry lint-free cloth or natural bristle brush to clean carved recesses. Keep the timber away from direct heat sources, extreme humidity fluctuations, and intense sunlight to prevent splitting.
