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

Known traditionally as a Quanyi, a Chinese horseshoe-back chair features a continuous curved armrail that flows down to form the armrests, a design originating during the Song and Ming dynasties.

These chairs were crafted from regional hardwoods such as elm or pine, coated in multiple layers of natural sap-based lacquer pigmented with cinnabar to achieve the characteristic red finish.

Authentic period chairs feature traditional mortise-and-tenon joinery without metal fasteners, natural wear along structural contact points, and fine crazing in the original lacquer finish.

A red lacquered horseshoe chair functions as a focal accent piece when set against neutral walls, complemented by contemporary artwork or paired with minimalist timber furnishings.

Lacquered surfaces should be kept away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent drying or cracking, and cleaned gently using a soft, dry cloth without chemical polishes.
