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

Ceylonese colonial furniture from the late 19th century blends traditional European furniture silhouettes with intricate, indigenous Sri Lankan relief carving. Pieces were typically hand-crafted in dense tropical hardwoods and feature elaborate motifs depicting local flora, mythical creatures, and figurative scenes.

These items were predominantly crafted from indigenous hardwoods such as teak, ebony, and calamander. Teak was favoured for its durability, natural oil content, and resistance to humidity, making it ideal for furniture positioned in veranda or semi-outdoor settings.

Authentic period pieces exhibit hand-carved details with minor human variances, dark natural timber patina, and traditional joint construction like hand-cut mortise and tenon joints rather than modern fasteners. The iconography often incorporates regional Sri Lankan artistic motifs combined with Victorian structural forms.

A carved colonial chair functions well as a single sculptural statement piece in a hallway, bedroom corner, or alongside minimalist modern furniture. Pairing dark, highly detailed wood against neutral walls or contemporary textiles highlights the craftsmanship without overwhelming the space.

Dust regularly using a soft, natural-bristle brush to clean within the deep crevices of the carving. Preserve the wood finish by applying a thin layer of natural clear beeswax paste annually, avoiding modern chemical sprays or excessive moisture.
