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

Japanning is a European finishing technique developed in the seventeenth century to emulate East Asian lacquerware. It involves applying multiple coats of dark varnish or resin to timber, which is subsequently decorated with gilding and hand-painted motifs.

Traditional japanned tables feature a wooden frame covered in layers of oil or spirit varnish. The surface artwork is executed using gesso, metallic leaf, bronze powders, and pigmented paints.

Authentic twentieth-century japanned furniture exhibits natural age-related crazing in the varnish, subtle surface wear on handled edges, and hand-applied detailing. Unlike modern synthetic lacquers, period Japanned finishes possess visual depth and minor irregularities.

A black japanned coffee table functions as a grounding focal point when positioned alongside tailored contemporary seating and neutral textiles. Pairing the table with simple ceramic vessels draws attention to the intricate hand-painted artwork without visual clutter.

Keep japanned furniture away from direct sunlight, radiators, and high humidity to prevent the finish from cracking or lifting. Dust gently using a soft microfibre cloth and avoid using solvent cleaners, water, or spray waxes.
