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

Traditionally presented as part of a brides dowry in Chinese culture, a wedding cabinet served as a storage cupboard for household linens, silks, and family valuables within the domestic home.

These cabinets are constructed from timber frames coated in multiple layers of natural tree-sap lacquer, decorated with gilded painted motifs, and finished with forged brass or bronze faceplates.

Authentic period examples feature traditional mortise and tenon joinery without metal nails, fine surface craquelure in the lacquer, and hand-hammered hardware showing natural oxidisation.

A red lacquer cabinet acts as a vibrant focal point when positioned against neutral plaster or dark painted walls, harmonising effectively with contemporary minimalist furniture and warm wood flooring.

Maintain the cabinet away from direct sunlight and central heating sources to avoid timber movement, dusting gently with a clean, soft microfibre cloth while avoiding chemical cleansers.
