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 used in Eastern ceremonial and domestic settings, small table gongs were widely produced during the 19th and early 20th centuries for European export. They functioned as functional dinner gongs and decorative interior Accents within Western homes.

These items traditionally feature hand-carved dense hardwoods such as teak, camphorwood, or rosewood for the structural frame, paired with a central gong spun or cast from brass or bronze alloy.

Authentic pieces feature hand-chased detail on the metal surface, hand-carved joinery in the timber frame rather than modern screws, and evidence of natural age-related patination on both the wood and metal components.

Position the gong on a sideboard, mantelpiece, or console table to act as a sculptural focal point. Pairing it with clean-lined modern furniture or mid-century pieces creates a balanced, eclectic aesthetic.

Dust the timber carving regularly with a soft, dry brush and nourish the wood periodically using neutral beeswax. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners on the metal element to preserve its historical surface patina.
