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.

FAQs

Chinoiserie is the European imitation and interpretation of Chinese and East Asian artistic traditions, highly popular in decorative arts and furniture design during the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries.

Traditional sewing tables are typically constructed from solid hardwoods such as pine or oak, finished with japanned lacquer or painted surfaces, and often feature interior compartments lined with silk or velvet.

Authentic pieces often exhibit age-related crackleure in the lacquer, hand-applied gilt motifs with minor wear patterns, traditional dovetail joinery, and period-appropriate iron or brass hardware.

This piece functions effectively as an accent table or bedside stand, providing a focal point that contrasts cleanly with modern minimalist upholstery and neutral colour palettes.

Dust surfaces gently with a dry, soft microfibre cloth and avoid exposure to direct sunlight, excessive moisture, or chemical polishes that can degrade historical varnishes.
