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

Figurative paintings depicting historical generals such as Guan Yu represent bravery, loyalty, and protection, often created for domestic display, ancestral halls, or scholarly studies during the Qing dynasty and earlier periods.

These artworks are typically executed using mineral-based pigments and carbon ink on delicate mulberry paper or woven silk, which is then mounted onto backing paper for stabilization before framing.

Authenticity is assessed by examining silk weave tightness, natural paper discolouration, artist or collector seal impressions, calligraphic brushwork technique, and evidence of historical mounting methods.

A large framed figurative painting creates a structured focal point when positioned above a simple console table, within a library setting, or against a neutral backdrop in a contemporary living area.

Display the artwork away from direct sunlight and fluctuating humidity to prevent fading and foxing, ensuring it remains framed behind UV-protective glass with acid-free mounting materials.
