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 cart doors were functional front panels or access doors fitted to horse-drawn carts during the Qing Dynasty, often decorated with folk painting and reinforced with iron studs for durability.

These doors were typically constructed from durable native hard timbers such as elm or pine, secured with heavy iron straps or studs, and decorated using natural mineral-based pigments.

Authentic pieces feature natural wear patterns, historic mortise and tenon joinery without modern screws, original iron fittings showing age-appropriate oxidisation, and layered, weathered paintwork.

An antique cart door functions effectively as statement wall art or a focal point mounted above a sideboard, adding texture, history, and organic warmth to contemporary spaces.

Dust the timber lightly with a soft, dry microfibre cloth and avoid using chemical cleaners or water on historic pigments. Keep the piece away from direct sunlight and damp environments to prevent timber warping or paint flaking.
