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

These pieces are characterised by hand-applied lacquer finishes, intricate painted botanical or figurative motifs, and traditional brass hardware, reflecting the enduring popularity of East Asian decorative arts in both domestic Chinese production and Western export markets during the 19th century.

Craftsmen typically utilised local hardwoods or softwoods coated with natural sap lacquer harvested from the Toxicodendron vernicifluum tree. Hardware was traditionally hand-forged brass, featuring circular faceplates and sliding pin closures.

Authentic examples exhibit genuine surface wear, craquelure across the lacquer layer, and hand-joined cabinetry such as mortise and tenon joints. The brassware displays natural oxidisation and subtle imperfections from hand-forging rather than modern cast uniformity.

Position a pair as flanking side cabinets or low credenzas in a contemporary living space to add historical depth and texture. Contrast the rich red patina against neutral backdrops or pair them with minimalist contemporary lighting.

Maintain stable humidity levels to prevent the timber core from expanding and cracking the lacquer finish. Dust gently with a dry, soft microfibre cloth, avoiding chemical cleaners, silicone polishes, and direct exposure to intense sunlight.
