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

Traditional Chinese hardwood armchairs are defined by their frame-and-panel construction, sophisticated joinery without metallic fasteners, and symbolic decorative carvings. Design features frequently include shaped crest rails, carved central splats, splayed or cabriole legs, and open scrollwork aprons.

Historically, high-status Chinese seating was crafted from dense, tropical hardwoods such as Zitan, Huanghuali, and various rosewoods broadly categorized as Hongmu. These timbers were selected for their exceptional density, rich grain patterns, and natural oil content, allowing fine carving and polishing.

Authentic pieces rely on intricate wood-to-wood mortise and tenon joinery, dovetails, and pegging rather than nails, screws, or modern adhesives. Inspecting the underside of the frame often reveals exposed interlocking timber joints and hand-tooling marks.

Hardwood armchairs serve as structured focal points when set against neutral backdrops in living rooms, hallways, or studies. Placing a pair symmetrical to a side table provides visual grounding and introduces sculptural wooden texture to modern minimal spaces.

Hardwood items should be kept away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent timber shrinkage and checking. Regular dusting with a soft microfiber cloth and occasional application of natural beeswax or microcrystalline wax maintains the patination and preserves the wood.
