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

Furniture from this period often reflects late Qing dynasty craftsmanship and export styles, featuring intricate relief carvings, dragon motifs, and dense native hardwoods constructed using traditional joinery without nails.

These pieces were typically constructed from tropical hardwoods such as hongmu, zitan, or rosewood, utilizing complex mortise-and-tenon joints, panelled construction, and deep hand-carved decorative motifs.

Authentic period examples demonstrate precision mortise-and-tenon construction without modern screws, heavy solid timber weight, hand-tool marks within deep carvings, and natural oxidation along unvarnished underside surfaces.

Designers often place carved wooden settees in spacious entryways or living rooms as architectural focal points, pairing them with neutral linen cushions or minimalist backdrop elements to highlight the intricate timber carving.

Keep the timber away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent shrinkage or cracking. Clean regularly with a dry microfiber cloth and apply a high-grade beeswax polish periodically to nourish the hardwood.
