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 pair of late 19th-century Chinese Qing Dynasty huali wood vase stands exemplifies traditional craftsmanship from 1890. Each piece is constructed from dark brown hardwood with a rich patina, showing square frame-and-panel tops above openwork carved scroll aprons. Slender serpentine legs rise from shapely carved uprights with stepped lower stretchers and detailed scroll feet. The solid timber surfaces display natural grain patterns and warm reddish-brown undertones characteristic of superior quality huali wood. Standing at 75 cm high, 30 cm wide, and 30 cm deep, these tall tables provide a practical height for domestic display. Position these stands in an empty corner of a gentleman's library or hallway to hold decorative items such as oriental porcelain or bronze vases. The compact footprint makes them well-suited for framing architectural features or accenting empty wall space in living areas. Their restrained scale and open-framing design allow them to integrate smoothly into both traditional and contemporary interior schemes without overwhelming the surrounding room.

FAQs

Qing Dynasty furniture is known for refined frame-and-panel construction, intricate carved ornamentation, and the extensive use of dense indigenous tropical hardwoods such as huali and zitan.

Craftsmen traditionally utilised dense, high-oil tropical hardwoods such as huali and zitan, joined with complex mortise-and-tenon techniques without metal nails or glue.

Authentic pieces feature precision hand-carved joinery details, smooth unvarnished or wax finishes, deep patination within carved recesses, and substantial weight relative to their size.

A pair of tall hardwood stands functions effectively when flanking an architectural entrance, highlighting ceramic vessels within alcoves, or serving as elevated accent tables beside modern seating.

Dust regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and periodically apply natural beeswax paste, keeping the timber away from direct heat sources and high humidity variations to prevent timber movement.
