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.

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

Named for its resemblance to the winged caps worn by Ming and Qing dynasty officials, the officials hat chair (guanmaoyi) is a classical form of Chinese seating characterised by its protruding crest rail and central carved back splat.

These chairs were traditionally constructed using durable native timbers such as elm (yumu), walnut, or exotic hardwoods, crafted using mortise and tenon joinery and finished with natural lacquers.

Authentic 19th-century examples feature hand-cut joinery without modern screws, visible footrest wear, hand-carved decorative splat details, and aged patination or lacquer wear across high-touch areas.

This sculpted wooden armchair serves as a striking statement piece in an entryway, alongside an office desk, or placed in a living area to bring historic character and texture to contemporary schemes.

Dust regularly using a soft, dry microfibre cloth, keep the chair away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent cracking, and maintain a stable humidity level in the room.
