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

Traditional Chinese carved hardwood seating features intricate low- or high-relief carving depicting symbolic motifs such as dragons, clouds, and flora. These pieces are constructed using complex mortise-and-tenon joinery without nails or glue, resulting in robust structural stability and formal, symmetrical profiles.

Historic Chinese seating was typically constructed from dense, heavy tropical hardwoods including zitan, hongmu (rosewood), jichimu (chicken-wing wood), and tielimu (ironwood). These timbers were selected for their fine grain, structural strength, and ability to hold high-relief carved decoration.

Authentic hand-carved pieces exhibit subtle variations and depth in the carved relief, showing tool marks from chisels rather than uniform machine work. Additionally, genuine historical construction relies on traditional joinery techniques, natural wood grain continuity, and historic patination along contact areas.

A carved Chinese bench functions effectively as a focal statement piece in an entryway, wide hallway, or reception space. Pairing the dark timber with neutral wall tones, modern minimal lighting, or clean-lined contemporary art balances the visual weight and ornate detail of the carving.

Maintain hardwood furniture by placing it away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent timber shrinkage or splitting. Dust regularly using a soft, lint-free cloth and apply a quality natural beeswax sparingly to preserve the wood finish and deep tone.
