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

A duobaoge, or cabinet of many treasures, is a traditional Chinese display shelf characterised by asymmetrical open compartments designed to present art objects, ceramics, and jade carvings.

These pieces are typically constructed from dense tropical hardwoods such as rosewood, zitan, or chicken-wing wood, assembled using precise mortise and tenon joinery without the use of metal nails.

Authentic period construction relies on complex interlocking wooden joints, floating panel construction to accommodate humidity changes, and hand-carved decorative motifs rather than modern glues or mechanical fasteners.

Place the unit against a neutral backdrop to highlight its silhouette, using the staggered shelves to display minimalist ceramics, glass vessels, or books to create a balanced, curated focal point.

Keep the wood away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent shrinkage or cracking. Clean dust regularly with a soft dry cloth and nourish the timber periodically with natural beeswax polish.
