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.
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.

19th-century Chinese export furniture combines traditional Asian motifs, such as dragons, clouds, and mythical beasts, with Western furniture forms like the splat-back armchair. These pieces were crafted predominantly for the European and North American markets using dense, high-grade local timber.

Craftsmen typically utilised durable hardwoods such as teak, zitan, huanghuali, and rosewood. These dense timbers allowed for intricate, deep relief carving that could withstand variations in climate during sea transport.

Authentic period examples display hand-carved tool marks, floating panel seat construction, and traditional mortise-and-tenon joinery without nails. Natural surface wear in expected contact areas, such as the armrests and feet, also indicates genuine age.

A pair of carved teak armchairs functions as a visual anchor in a hallway, living area, or study. Placing them alongside clean-lined modern upholstery creates an eclectic, layered interior scheme that highlights structural woodwork.

Dust regularly using a soft brush to clean detailed carvings. Apply a high-quality beeswax paste annually to nourish the timber and preserve the patina, keeping the furniture away from direct heat sources and excessive moisture.
