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

A Coromandel lacquer screen is a folding wooden room divider decorated using the technique of incised lacquer, known as Kuancai in China. The wood is built up with layers of lacquer, which are carved away to form decorative scenes and subsequently painted with bright pigments or metals.

These screens feature a light wooden frame core covered with a base of lacquer mixed with clay or fibrous materials, finished with multiple smooth lacquer topcoats. The incised areas are painted using polychrome pigments, metallic dusts, or mineral paints to create detailed imagery.

Authentic period screens exhibit hand-carved details with varied depth, natural fine craquelure across the lacquer finish, and evidence of historical hand-forged brass hinges. The reverse side often features incised botanical motifs, calligraphy, or geometric patterns.

Large multi-panel screens are often positioned flat against a prominent wall as a grand piece of artwork, placed behind a sofa to add vertical scale, or arranged in a traditional zig-zag fold to serve as an architectural room divider.

Keep the screen away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent cracking or fading. Dust gently using a dry, soft microfiber cloth, and avoid water, liquid polishes, or chemical cleaners that could damage the delicate lacquer layer.
