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.

Famille Rose refers to Chinese porcelain decorated with opaque overglaze enamels dominated by pink and rose tones, introduced during the Qing dynasty. Nineteenth-century examples often feature intricate compositions depicting birds, flora, butterflies, and figurative scenes bounded by vibrant borders.

Moon flasks were crafted by joining two molded, dish-like ceramic circular halves together before attaching a cylindrical neck and decorative side handles. The porcelain body was high-fired with a clear glaze before hand-application of enamel pigments for a secondary, lower-temperature kiln firing.

Authentic pieces generally exhibit characteristic paste flaws, foot rim wear consistent with age, and hand-painted variations in enamel thickness. Examining the mineral composition of overglaze colours, iron spots in the glaze, and firing marks helps distinguish historical production from modern reproductions.

A pair of large ceramic flasks provides symmetrical balance when positioned at opposite ends of a credenza, fireplace mantel, or console table. Complementing them with dark wood furniture or contemporary neutral backdrops allows their detailed colour work and silhouette to stand out.

Clean enamel porcelain using a soft brush or microfibre cloth dampened with warm water and mild liquid soap. Avoid abrasive cleaning solutions, chemical solvents, or immersion in water, as moisture can compromise delicate overglaze enamels or historical repairs.
