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

Chinese Chippendale style originated in mid-18th century England through designer Thomas Chippendale, blending traditional Georgian forms with Chinoiserie motifs. Key features include geometric astragal glazing bars, blind fretwork on legs or cornices, pagodas, and delicate latticework.

Historically, high-grade Cuban or Honduran mahogany was used for exterior veneers and solid framework. Construction features individual panes of hand-blown glass secured by moulded timber astragal bars, hand-cut dovetail joints on drawers, and secondary timbers such as oak or pine for internal carcass lining.

Look for signs of age including subtle irregularities in individual glass panes, hand-cut joinery, original brass hardware with age-appropriate tarnish, and slight timber shrinkage across wide cabinet panels. True period examples also feature hand-planed backboards rather than modern plywood or machine-sawn backing.

A substantial mahogany display cabinet serves as a focal piece in a formal dining room, hallway, or study. Contrast dark polished timber against light, neutral wall shades, and fill shelves with curated ceramics, art objects, or uniform book collections to prevent visual clutter.

Dust surfaces regularly using a clean, soft microfibre cloth following the grain. Apply a high-grade beeswax polish once or twice a year to nourish the timber glaze, while avoiding modern spray waxes; keep glass panes clear using a mild glass cleaner applied to a cloth rather than sprayed directly onto the wood.
