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

Chinoiserie refers to European artistic interpretations of Asian design traditions, characterised by hand-painted landscapes, figurative decoration, and rich lacquer finishes.

These cabinets typically feature solid wood frames coated with layers of resinous lacquer, decorated with gilt or polychrome paint, and fitted with engraved brass mounts.

Authentic period examples demonstrate subtle surface craquelure in the lacquer, hand-cut joinery, aged patina on brass hardware, and hand-painted artistic details rather than printed transfers.

Pairing lacquered cabinets with contemporary neutral backdrops creates a distinct focal point, balancing traditional figurative artistry with modern minimalist aesthetics.

Dust gently with a clean microfibre cloth and avoid direct sunlight or high humidity, which can cause the delicate lacquer layer to crack or lift over time.
