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

Tiered lacquer baskets were traditionally crafted during the late Qing Dynasty period as custom containers used to transport gifts, garments, or foodstuffs during matrimonial processions and ceremonial occasions.

These vessels were built using lightweight wood or bamboo frames wrapped with cane binding, then finished with multiple coats of natural sap lacquer and decorated with hand-painted narrative figures or gilt motifs.

Authentic period pieces exhibit hand-painted brushwork rather than modern printed transfers, natural craquelure and surface wear consistent with age, and hand-bound cane detailing along the bentwood handle.

A tiered dowry basket functions effectively as a sculptural focal point placed on a sideboard, entryway console table, or within a quiet corner to introduce warm colour tones and structural form.

Keep organic lacquerware away from direct sunlight, central heating vents, and extreme humidity changes. Dust the surface regularly with a dry, soft microfibre cloth, avoiding water and chemical cleaners.
