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

Chinoiserie is a European decorative style originating in the seventeenth century that features fanciful, Western interpretations of East Asian artistic traditions, characterised by lacquered finishes, figurative landscapes, and floral motifs.

These pieces typically feature timber frames finished with multiple coats of shellac or varnish lacquer, decorated with hand-painted polychrome scenes or gilded accents and fitted with cast brass hardware.

Authentic pieces exhibit natural age-related craquelure in the painted lacquered surface, hand-cut dovetail joints on drawers, and evidence of hand-planed secondary timbers on cabinet backs.

Set the bureau as an accent piece against contemporary neutral or deeply toned walls, pairing the painted finish with modern table lamps and refined architectural accessories.

Dust gently with a clean microfibre cloth, maintain stable humidity levels away from direct heat sources, and avoid applying silicone polishes, harsh solvents, or abrasive waxes to protected lacquer finishes.
