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 kang table is a low timber table traditionally designed for use on a raised heated brick platform, known as a kang, or on a daybed in Qing Dynasty Chinese homes to serve tea, meals, or writing materials.

Traditional Chinese low tables were constructed using dense hardwoods such as huali, zitan, or elm, joined with precision mortise-and-tenon carpentry and floating panel tops to accommodate seasonal timber movement without adhesive.

Authentic period pieces display hand-carved apron details, complex unglued joinery, smoothly turned scroll feet or chow legs, and a soft natural surface patina acquired over decades rather than high-gloss synthetic varnishes.

An antique low table functions well as an anchor coffee table in contemporary living rooms, pairing effectively with low-profile upholstered sofas, natural linen fabrics, and minimalist ceramic accessories.

Regularly dust the timber using a soft dry cloth and apply a thin layer of natural beeswax polish periodically while keeping the item away from direct heat sources and excessive moisture.
