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.
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.
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.

A kang table is a low wooden platform table traditionally used in Northern China on a raised heated brick platform known as a kang for dining, reading, or tea service.

These tables were typically crafted from dense hardwoods such as hongmu, zitan, or huanghuali, utilizing traditional mortise-and-tenon joinery without metal fasteners.

Authentic pieces feature classic mortise-and-tenon joinery, hand-carved detailing, natural timber patination, and the high weight characteristic of dense oriental hardwoods.

A low table functions as a distinctive central coffee table, a low plant platform, or an accent surface for displaying ceramics in contemporary living spaces.

Keep the timber clear of direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent cracking, dust regularly with a soft dry cloth, and apply beeswax periodically to protect the finish.
