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.
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.
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.

Chinoiserie furniture from the 1920s reflects a European revival of East Asian decorative arts, featuring hand-painted landscapes, pagodas, and figures executed in lacquer or gilded finishes over timber frames.

Traditional cheval mirrors feature a central mirror plate mounted within a timber frame that swivels between two upright pillars on splayed feet, finished with multiple layers of lacquer and hand-applied gilding.

Authentic 1920s pieces typically display natural age-related craquelure or fine checking in the lacquer finish, hand-painted artwork showing subtle variations, traditional joinery, and foxing on the original mirror glass.

A Chinoiserie cheval mirror works well as a focal accent in a dressing room, bedroom, or spacious hallway, paired with neutral walls or rich heritage shades to highlight its detailed paintwork.

To maintain a lacquered finish, dust regularly with a soft dry microfibre cloth, avoid placing the item in direct sunlight or near heat sources, and avoid chemical solvents or abrasive cleaners.
