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

Rootwood furniture, known traditionally as Gen Diao, is a Chinese decorative art form that utilises natural tree roots and boles to create functional objects while retaining their natural, organic structures.

Craftsmen traditionally used gnarled roots, branches, and boles finished with translucent lacquers, frequently embedding polished natural stone or mineral slabs, such as quartz, fluorite, or marble, into the top surface.

Authentic 19th-century rootwood items display hand-carved joinery, age-appropriate surface patina, natural lacquer wear near junctions, and dense hardwoods characteristic of East Asian root carving.

A rootwood table serves as a sculptural accent in modern or minimalist rooms, introducing organic warmth and textural contrast when placed alongside tailored seating or inside an entryway.

Dust the timber regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and keep it away from direct heat sources to prevent wood movement, while cleaning the quartz top with a soft, damp cloth.
