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

Chinoiserie lighting incorporates European interpretations of East Asian decorative traditions, prominent from the eighteenth century onwards. Common features include hand-painted figures, floral motifs, pagoda imagery, and rich japanned or lacquered finishes in black, red, or gold.

These lamps typically feature turned wooden or metal cores coated in layers of resin-based lacquer or japanning, decorated with raised gilt detailing or tempera paint, and fitted with brass electrical components.

Authentic pieces exhibit subtle hand-painted variations in the artwork rather than uniform printed patterns. Look for natural age wear around the base, faint craquelure in the varnish layer, and historical electrical rewiring indicators.

Positioning a symmetrical pair on a sideboard, console table, or bedside drawers provides balance. Neutral lampshades allow the intricate black and gold painted detail of the columns to serve as a focal point against contemporary backdrops.

Dust surfaces gently using a soft, dry microfibre cloth to protect the painted gilt work. Avoid moisture, alcohol-based cleaners, or solvent polishes, as these can soften lacquer layers and strip fragile decorative details.
