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

During the Meiji period (18681912), Japanese craftsmen produced carved hardwood furniture specifically designed for Western export markets, combining traditional Japanese motifs with European furniture forms such as desks, cabinets, and sideboards.

These desks were constructed using dense Asian hardwoods such as rosewood, keyaki, or teak, assembled with traditional joinery techniques and finished with relief carving featuring flora, fauna, or architectural elements.

Authentic pieces feature high-relief hand carvings depicting Japanese motifs like floral scrolls or bridge structures, alongside evidence of period construction techniques and age-appropriate wood oxidation.

A carved Japanese hardwood desk functions as a focal statement piece in a home office, library, or hallway, paired with minimal contemporary seating and neutral walls to highlight the woodwork.

Keep the timber away from direct heat sources and strong sunlight to prevent warping, dust regularly with a soft dry cloth, and apply a high-quality beeswax polish annually to nourish the finish.
