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.

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.

This nineteenth-century console table is a traditional Chinese altar table constructed from dark brown hardwood with a burr wood top. The piece stands on four raised straight legs and displays prominent everted scroll ends alongside mortise and tenon joinery. An intricately carved openwork apron adorns the upper section beneath the top surface. The table measures 85 cm high, 119 cm wide, and 44.5 cm deep. In a modern interior, this item functions well in a gentleman's library or beside the front door as a display surface for decorative objects. The compact proportions allow it to sit comfortably against a hallway wall or in a living space without dominating the room.

FAQs

Historically used in domestic spaces for ancestral veneration and ceremonial display, these tables feature narrow proportions, raised everted flange terminals, and recessed leg construction.

Traditional examples utilize tropical hardwoods such as Zitan, Huanghuali, or Rosewood, constructed using complex mortise-and-tenon joinery without metallic nails or adhesive fasteners.

Authenticity is indicated by hand-cut joinery, hand-planed underside surfaces, natural wood oxidisation, floating panel tabletops, and structural pegging rather than modern screws.

The shallow depth allows these tables to serve effectively as entry hallway consoles, dining room sideboards, or low-profile display surfaces positioned behind a sofa.

Maintain stable humidity levels away from direct heat radiators, dust regularly with a soft dry cloth, and apply microcrystalline wax sparingly to preserve the original timber patina.
