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.

This pair of large 19th-century Chinese export porcelain lidded vases showcases classical green and pink ground foliate and floral decoration. Overglaze enamelling covers the surfaces, displaying hand-painted inset panels that depict court figures, beauties, and courtiers under pagoda buildings. Sculpted figural finials shaped as female figures sit atop the lids, while matching figural handles project from the sides. Gilt accents highlight the intricate borders, mouldings, and decorative panels throughout. Measuring 55 cm high, 21 cm wide, and 12 cm deep, these vases suit placement on a sideboard top to introduce a traditional English Country House design vibe into a living space or hallway.

FAQs

Rose Medallion is a pattern of Chinese export porcelain produced primarily in the 19th and 20th centuries for Western markets, defined by central medallions framed by alternating panels of human figures and flora with fauna.

These pieces were crafted from fine kaolin clay, fired at high temperatures, and decorated with overglaze enamels and gold leaf before undergoing a secondary lower-temperature firing to set the pigments.

Authentic 19th-century examples feature hand-painted variations, heavy vitreous enamel work, irregular gilded accents, and unglazed rim bases, typically lacking modern factory stamps or country-of-origin marks.

Placing a pair of vibrant lidded vases on a sideboard, mantelpiece, or console table introduces historical depth, rich colour, and a classic Orientalist aesthetic to both contemporary and traditional rooms.

Dust gently using a soft-bristled brush or clean microfibre cloth, and avoid submerging pieces in water or using harsh chemical cleansers that can erode overglaze gilding and enamels.
