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.

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

Anglo-Chinese trade portraiture refers to oil paintings produced by Chinese studio artists in treaty ports such as Canton during the 18th and 19th centuries, specifically catering to Western merchants, naval officers, and travellers.

These artworks were typically created using oil paints on woven canvas or wooden panels, framed within carved giltwood or moulded gesso frames of European or Cantonese manufacture.

Authentic examples frequently feature distinctive smooth brushwork, flattened lighting perspective, subtle background details like pagodas or harbour shipping, and period-correct canvas stretchers.

An antique portrait can serve as a focal point mounted above a fireplace mantel, hung within a hallway, or integrated into a gallery wall alongside modern art.

Maintain a stable indoor climate away from direct heat and high humidity, protect the canvas from direct sunlight, and gently clean delicate gilt frames with a soft dry brush.
