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 French Chinoiserie bombe commode is a chest of drawers featuring an outward-curving front and sides decorated with European interpretations of East Asian artistic motifs, popularised during the 18th century and reproduced in later revival periods.

Japanned lacquer pieces typically feature a timber frame coated in resinous spirit varnish or lacquer, fitted with a contoured marble top and cast ormolu or brass handles and mounts.

Authentic pieces exhibit signs of natural aging in the lacquered finish, such as fine surface crazing, along with hand-chased metalwork, traditional dovetail drawer joinery, and hand-fitted stone tops.

Position the piece against a neutral wall backdrop paired with minimal artwork or contemporary lighting to highlight its gilded details and curved architectural profile.

Maintain the finish by dusting with a dry microfibre cloth and keeping the item clear of direct sunlight, heat sources, and damp environments while avoiding abrasive liquid polishes.
