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

A Sijiangui, or compound cabinet, is a classic form of traditional Chinese storage furniture featuring a main cabinet base paired with a detachable top chest, historically used for storing garments and ceremonial attire.

Traditional Chinese cabinets are constructed from dense hardwoods such as Zitan, Huanghuali, or Rosewood using mortise-and-tenon joinery without nails or glue, secured with central brass hardware.

Authentic late Qing and early 20th-century Chinese carved furniture exhibits hand-carved relief work, age-consistent patination around hardware, and flush-mounted brass lock plates.

A dark timber carved cabinet functions as an architectural focal point when positioned against neutral walls and alongside structured contemporary furniture or minimal lighting.

Maintain hardwood furniture by placing it away from direct heat sources, keeping ambient humidity stable to prevent wood movement, and wiping surfaces gently with a dry microfibre cloth.
