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

A tsuitate is a traditional single-panel Japanese standing screen designed for entryways or interior spaces to provide privacy and block air currents while displaying decorative artwork.

These screens typically feature a timber substrate coated with natural tree sap lacquer, often decorated with gold or silver powder using the maki-e technique, alongside mother-of-pearl or bone inlays.

Authentic period pieces display multi-layered lacquer finishes, precise hand-painted gold maki-e detailing, natural surface patina, and carved hardwood joinery without modern synthetic resins.

A single-panel screen can be positioned as a focal point in an entry foyer, placed inside an unused fireplace alcove, or displayed along a hallway wall to add texture and architectural interest.

Keep lacquerware away from direct sunlight, heating sources, and extreme humidity changes to prevent timber warping or lacquer cracking, and clean surfaces gently using a dry microfibre cloth.
