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

Originating during the Ming and Qing dynasties, the officials hat chair, or Guanmaoyi, features a distinctive curved top rail with protruding ends that mimic the shape of the caps worn by imperial officials. These chairs were symbolisms of authority and status within traditional Chinese households.

These armchairs are primarily crafted from elm wood, locally known as Yumu, which is valued for its strength and distinctive grain. Traditional construction relies entirely on sophisticated mortise-and-tenon joinery without the use of nails or metal fasteners, often finished with a protective layer of natural lacquer.

Authentic period examples demonstrate hand-carved mortise-and-tenon joints, subtle hand-planed irregularities on the wooden surfaces, uneven wear patterns on footrests, and remnants of historical lacquer finishes showing natural age cracking or oxidisation.

Chinese armchairs function as statement sculptural accent pieces in contemporary settings. Placing a pair in a hallway, flanking a modern console table, or positioning them as end chairs around a modern dining table creates a striking contrast between historical craftsmanship and minimalist aesthetics.

Maintain antique wooden furniture by dusting regularly with a clean, dry, soft microfiber cloth. Avoid exposure to direct heat sources, excessive dryness, or moisture, and refrain from using harsh chemical polishes or water-based cleaners that could damage historical lacquer or patination.
