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

Japanning is a traditional European decorative technique developed in the late 17th and 18th centuries to imitate Asian lacquerware. It involves applying layers of dark resin varnish over wood, decorated with hand-painted gilding that depicts stylized oriental landscapes, figures, and floral motifs.

These chairs were built using European timber such as beech, pine, or oak, which was coated in a gesso preparation layer before receiving multiple coats of shellac or varnish and hand-applied metal leaf or paint.

Authentic period pieces exhibit age-appropriate craquelure across the varnish, visible hand-carving techniques on the timber frame, natural wear on high-touch areas like stretchers, and delicate, raised brushwork rather than flat stencilling.

Position the chair as a standalone accent piece in a hallway, alongside a writing desk, or in a minimalist room where the contrast between dark lacquer and detailed gilding creates an artistic focal point.

Keep lacquered surfaces away from direct sunlight and fluctuating humidity levels to prevent lifting, dust with a clean microfibre cloth, and refrain from applying harsh chemical polishes or liquid cleaners.
