1930s Decorative English Japanned Settee

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

Japanned settees emulate East Asian lacquerwork using European varnish techniques, featuring Chinoiserie landscapes, gilded ornamentation, and Queen Anne structural elements such as cabriole legs and shell carvings.

Japanning involves applying multiple layers of spirit or oil-based varnish over a solid timber frame, which is then decorated with raised gilt or hand-painted Chinoiserie motifs before receiving a final polish.

Authentic Japanned pieces display fine surface craquelure within the varnish finish, raised gilt hand-painted details, and natural wear patterns along exposed edges and high-contact areas.

A red and gilt Japanned settee functions as a statement focal piece in a hallway, bedroom, or reception room, pairing effectively with neutral textiles and simple architectural backgrounds.

Dust surfaces gently using a soft microfibre cloth, position the item away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent lacquer cracking, and avoid using abrasive liquid polishes or solvent cleaners.
