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

Cinnabar lacquer furniture features multiple layers of natural sap mixed with powdered cinnabar ore, which are applied over a wooden substrate and carved with high-relief patterns.

Craftsmen build up dozens to hundreds of thin lacquer coatings over a carved timber base, allowing each layer to cure completely before applying the next and hand-carving complex motifs.

Authentic pieces demonstrate depth in multi-layered relief carving, subtle variations from hand tooling, smooth plain or lacquered interiors, and a characteristic weight and tactile warmth.

Position the cabinet as an accent piece in a hallway or alcove, pairing its rich red tones and detailed surface relief against neutral walls and clean-lined modern furniture.

Keep cinnabar lacquer away from direct sunlight, extreme humidity fluctuations, and radiator heat, dusting gently with a dry microfibre cloth while avoiding water and chemical polishes.
