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

Originating in 18th-century Britain through the pattern books of Thomas Chippendale, Chinese Chippendale style fuses European Rococo scrollwork with stylized East Asian motifs, such as pagodas, exotic birds, and intricate C-scroll fretwork.

Frames were typically hand-carved from softwoods like pine or lime, coated with layers of gesso and bole clay, and finished with thin gold leaf applied using traditional water-gilding techniques.

Authentic period pieces show evidence of hand-carved backboards, natural wear to the gold leaf revealing the red or grey clay bole underneath, and age-related oxidisation or foxing on the glass plate.

Positioned above a fireplace or atop a streamlined console table, the intricate gilded frame functions as an architectural anchor, balancing minimalist modern furniture with classical texture.

Dust the frame gently using a soft, dry camel-hair brush, avoiding moisture, liquid cleaners, or commercial solvents that dissolve water-gesso and strip the delicate gold leaf.
