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.

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 export maritime paintings are artworks created by local Chinese artists specifically for the Western market during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, featuring merchant vessels, junks, and harbour scenes.

These paintings were typically executed in water-based gouache or watercolour pigments onto pith paper or woven paper, then mounted and framed for display.

Authentic period examples exhibit characteristic fine brushwork detailing vessel rigging and sails, natural paper discolouration, and period-appropriate framing materials.

A cohesive set of export pictures is best arranged in a structured grid formation above a sideboard or along a hallway wall to create an impactful focal point.

To prevent fading and foxing, display gouache works away from direct sunlight, maintain stable humidity levels, and ensure proper glazing with acid-free mounting.
