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.

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

This piece can serve as a striking accent seat in a bedroom, study, or living space, contrasting effectively against minimalist contemporary surroundings or complementing eclectic, maximalist schemes.

Preservation requires keeping the item away from direct sunlight and excessive moisture to protect the delicate lacquer and painted surfaces, cleaning only with a dry or very slightly damp soft cloth.

Authentic pieces often feature fine, hand-painted details, genuine mother-of-pearl inlay that sits flush or slightly raised within the lacquer, and distinctive weight and structural rigidity characteristic of pressed paper pulp construction.

These pieces are constructed from layered paper pulp reinforced with wood or metal frames where necessary, finished with multiple coats of black lacquer, and frequently embellished with hand-painted floral details and inlaid mother-of-pearl.

Papier mache furniture became popular during the Victorian era, particularly in the mid-19th century, utilising compressed paper pulp mixed with glue, resin, and chalk, which was then baked and varnished to create durable, highly decorative items.
