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

Multi-tier display shelves, traditionally known as duobaoge or treasure cabinets, originated during the Ming and Qing dynasties to showcase scholars and literati collections of prized objects, ceramics, and antiquities.

These pieces are typically constructed from dense, durable Asian hardwoods such as huanghuali, zitan, jichimu, or ironwood, frequently utilising complex mortise-and-tenon joinery without the use of metal nails or glue.

Authenticity is determined by examining the patination, tool marks, traditional joinery methods, timber shrinkage patterns, and the presence of hand-carved detailing consistent with historical periods.

This type of cabinet functions well as a focal point in a living room or study, providing structured open and closed storage for displaying curated ceramics, books, and sculptural objects.

Preserve antique hardwood by maintaining stable indoor humidity levels, avoiding direct sunlight, and occasionally applying microcrystalline wax to nourish the wood without damaging the historic finish.
