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

Originated primarily during the late Qing Dynasty and Republic period, these carvings were produced as artistic representations of everyday trades, folklore, and rural activities for domestic appreciation and international export.

Craftsmen typically utilised fine-grained native timbers such as boxwood, camphor, or bamboo, using delicate handheld chisels to carve intricate details without relying on heavy paint or lacquer finish.

Authentic period examples feature hand-chiseled tool marks, realistic garment drapery, smooth age-related wear on base edges, and natural grain variation consistent with aged timber.

These miniature sculptures can be arranged together along a sideboard top, curated inside a glazed cabinet, or displayed individually on open shelving to introduce warm timber tones and historical character.

Dust the intricate surfaces gently using a soft, dry bristle brush, keep the figures away from direct heat sources and sunlight, and avoid applying water or chemical polishes.
