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

Chinese export temple vases were large decorative vessels produced in China specifically for Western markets, featuring traditional narrative scenes, figures, and gilded landscapes executed on lacquer or porcelain.

These vessels are typically crafted from a timber substrate layered with natural tree resin lacquer, which is dried, polished, and decorated with gilding, gold leaf, or hand-painted mineral pigments.

Authentic pieces generally display age-appropriate craquelure, natural rubbing to the gilded decoration, period-correct timber joinery, and multi-layered lacquerwork rather than modern synthetic spray finishes.

Large floor-standing temple vases are positioned as architectural focal points in grand foyers, placed symmetrically in wall alcoves, or positioned to frame large doorways.

Lacquered surfaces require stable humidity levels, dusting with a dry microfibre cloth, complete avoidance of liquid cleaners, and protection from direct sunlight to prevent lacquer contraction and gilding loss.
