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

Hongmu throne chairs are traditional Chinese formal armchairs crafted from dense, dark reddish-brown hardwoods, historically associated with Qing dynasty interiors and high-status household display.

These chairs are constructed from dense hardwoods such as rosewood using complex mortise-and-tenon joinery without nails, featuring detailed openwork carving on the back splats.

Authentic examples display precision tenon joinery, significant weight due to timber density, hand-carved relief detailing with subtle variations, and natural wear along lower stretchers and armrests.

A pair can be arranged flanking a console table in an entrance hall or placed as structured accent seating in a contemporary living space to create visual contrast.

Keep the timber away from direct heat sources and fluctuating humidity to prevent movement, dust regularly with a clean microfibre cloth, and apply natural beeswax occasionally.
