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

Produced primarily during the late Qing Dynasty for both domestic appreciation and the export market, this style features dense tropical hardwoods decorated with intricate mother of pearl shell inlays. Pieces often combine traditional Chinese symbolic motifs, such as flora and birds, with structural forms tailored to Western or traditional Asian living spaces.

These suites were constructed using dense Asian hardwoods like rosewood or hongmu, assembled with traditional joinery without nails. The mother of pearl decoration was carved and set directly into precise recesses cut into the timber surfaces.

Authentic late 19th and early 20th-century pieces exhibit hand-cut joinery, natural variations in the iridescence of hand-carved shell inlays, and historical wear on touchpoints. Modern reproductions often use synthetic resins, machine-cut shell, or softer, lighter timber.

A decorative Chinese seating suite functions as a focal statement in an entryway, formal drawing room, or wide hallway. Contrast the intricate carved woodwork against neutral walls and contemporary textiles to highlight the structural craftsmanship.

Keep the furniture away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent timber movement and lifting of shell inlays. Dust regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and nourish the wood using a natural beeswax polish, avoiding liquid cleaners.
