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.

FAQs

Folding fans were frequently mounted and framed in shadow boxes during the 18th and 19th centuries as a way to preserve delicate textiles and showcase miniature paintings on walls.

These pieces typically combined hand-carved mother of pearl, bone, or ivory sticks with silk or paper leaves, often housed within giltwood or velvet-lined shadow box frames.

Authentic items feature fine hand-brushwork using gouache or watercolour on natural materials, with hand-pierced and riveted sticks rather than modern synthetic bonding.

This type of piece works well as a focal point on a gallery wall or above a console table, pairing effectively with traditional or eclectic decor schemes.

To prevent fading and degradation of the delicate leaf and frame, display away from direct sunlight and maintain stable indoor humidity levels.
