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

Produced primarily during the late Qing dynasty for Western export markets, these stands feature traditional Chinese woodcarving motifs adaptively styled to hold suspended paper or bamboo lanterns.

These items were crafted from dense tropical hardwoods, often featuring hand-carved details, paired with bamboo framing and painted paper or silk shades for light diffusion.

Authentic late 19th-century examples exhibit traditional mortise and tenon joinery, natural timber patination, hand-painted shade details, and iconography such as carved dragons or cloud motifs.

Positioning the stand on a dark wood console table, sideboard, or desk creates a sculptural focal point that bridges oriental antique art with contemporary interior design schemes.

Dust the woodwork regularly with a soft dry cloth and apply natural beeswax sparingly to preserve the timber, while keeping delicate paper or bamboo shades away from moisture and direct sunlight.
