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

Originating primarily in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, these artworks were produced in Chinese port cities specifically for export to Western trade markets, featuring detailed renderings of local flora, fauna, and cultural scenes.

Artists utilised mineral-based pigments mixed with water-based gouache or ink, applying the paint directly onto a hand-woven silk backing, which was subsequently mounted onto board or framed.

Authentic pieces display natural age-related toning to the fabric substrate, fine hand-painted brushwork lacking modern halftone print dots, and period-appropriate framing techniques such as figured timber veneers or gilded inner slips.

These pieces can be integrated into a gallery wall collection or hung individually above a console table alongside modern ceramics to balance traditional craftsmanship with contemporary decor.

Artwork on silk should be kept out of direct sunlight and high-humidity areas, framed behind UV-filtering glass, and secured with acid-free mounting materials to prevent fading and textile deterioration.
