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

Traditionally placed in the primary hall of Chinese residences, altar tables were utilised for ancestor veneration, displaying ceremonial offerings, and supporting incense burners.

Authentic pieces were crafted from dense tropical hardwoods using complex mortise-and-tenon joinery without metal fasteners, glue, or nails.

Authentic items feature precise hand-cut mortise-and-tenon joints, natural wear along structural stretchers, and historic hand-planing marks on the undersides.

The slender, linear proportions make an altar table suitable as a hallway console table, entryway accent, or statement sofa back table in modern spaces.

Keep the wood away from direct heating elements and moisture, dust regularly with a clean microfibre cloth, and apply natural beeswax polish periodically to preserve the patina.
