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 bitong is a cylindrical vessel traditionally used by Chinese scholars during the Ming and Qing dynasties to hold writing and calligraphy brushes on their desk.

Traditional brush pots were carved from hardwoods such as zitan, huanghuali, and bamboo, as well as natural gnarled tree roots, often featuring openwork or metallic inlays.

Authentic examples typically exhibit natural patination from age and handling, fine craftsmanship along carved joinery, and gentle wear consistent with historical scholar desk use.

Position the vessel on an executive desk, library bookshelf, or side console table as a standalone tactile sculpture or natural organic art piece.

Keep the piece away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent timber cracking, dusting gently with a soft brush and applying microcrystalline wax sparingly.
