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

Chinoiserie is a European decorative style originating in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, characterised by European furniture forms adorned with Asian-inspired motifs, hand-painted lacquer scenes, pagodas, and botanical gilding.

These commodes were typically constructed from solid hardwoods such as walnut or mahogany, featuring decorative lacquered panels, raised gilt gesso detail, and cast brass or bronze handles.

Authentic period pieces exhibit hand-cut dovetail joints on drawer construction, hand-applied lacquer surfaces with natural age crazing, carved wooden frame details, and cast metal hardware with genuine surface oxidisation.

Position the chest as an accent piece against a plain or painted wall, complemented by modern lighting fixtures and clean-lined accessories to allow the intricate hand-painted artwork to remain the central focus.

Dust surfaces regularly with a soft, dry microfibre cloth and avoid using liquid polishes, solvents, or damp cloths which can dissolve delicate lacquer coatings or lifting gilt detailing.
