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

Famille Rose Canton porcelain is a style of Chinese export ware developed in the 18th and 19th centuries, characterised by opaque rose-pink enamels combined with green, gold, and figurative or botanical panel decoration.

These items were crafted from fine kaolin porcelain clay, hand-painted with overglaze enamel pigments, and fired in kilns before receiving a fitted lid.

Authentic 19th-century examples feature hand-painted panel scenes, slight surface variations in glaze, unglazed foot rims, and a distinct palette dominated by pink and green enamels.

A Chinese export porcelain box functions well displayed on a timber desk, coffee table, or bookshelf, adding historic pattern and colour to contemporary living spaces.

Dust gently using a soft microfibre cloth or soft brush, avoiding chemical cleansers, abrasive pads, or prolonged water exposure to protect overglaze enamel artwork.
