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.

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

Chinese ancestor portraits were created primarily during the Ming and Qing dynasties for family veneration and ritual worship. These formal likenesses depicted deceased figures in formal court dress or official robes to honour their lineage and social standing.

These artworks were painted using natural mineral pigments and ink onto paper or silk backings. Traditional scrolls were typically mounted with decorative silk borders before being framed or displayed on wooden rollers.

Authentic examples display traditional brushwork, red seal stamps, and age-related creasing or oxidisation on paper or silk. Correct imperial iconography, such as dragon thrones and specific rank badges, also signifies historical accuracy.

Hang these large-scale portraits symmetrically in a grand hallway, dining space, or formal living room to create a clear focal point. Pair them with understated modern furniture or classic dark wood antiques to balance traditional art with contemporary design.

Display scroll art away from direct sunlight, high humidity, and heat sources to prevent fading and deterioration of paper fibres. Ensure artworks are framed under UV-protective glass with acid-free mounting materials to preserve condition over time.
