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.
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.
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.

Authentic pieces exhibit mortise-and-tenon construction, natural wood grain variation beneath traditional lacquer or wax finishes, hand-carved detail, and authentic age wear along joinery edges.

The open shelving can be styled with minimal ceramic vessels or modern glass, creating visual contrast against dark carved wood while providing functional display and concealed storage.

Dust surfaces regularly with a soft microfibre cloth, keep the piece away from direct heat sources to avoid timber shrinkage, and clean the marble top using pH-neutral stone cleaners.

These pieces were crafted using dense hardwoods such as hongmu or rosewood, frequently incorporating inset variegated marble tops and hand-carved botanical or geometric decorative relief panels.

Mid-19th-century Chinese furniture from the Qing dynasty typically features dense tropical hardwoods, precise joinery without nails, and symmetrical proportions, often integrating display shelving with lower storage cupboards.
