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

Historically crafted during the Qing Dynasty and early twentieth century, these wooden carriers were used across rural and urban China to transport grain, rice, and food items during daily tasks, festive gatherings, or wedding processions.

These vessels were built using lightweight wood or bentwood panels, reinforced with woven bamboo or rattan handles, and finished with coats of natural pigment or lacquer to protect against moisture.

Authentic period pieces exhibit hand-carved joinery, natural surface wear, craquelure within the paint finish, and hand-applied decorative motifs such as waterfowl, fish, or floral symbols.

Designers frequently position these containers as tabletop focal points on sideboards, console tables, or deep window sills, utilising their height and colour to introduce texture into modern or eclectic interiors.

Dust gently using a dry microfibre cloth and keep the object away from direct sunlight and extreme humidity variations to prevent cracking or fading of the painted surface.
