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

The Meiji period (18681912) in Japan was marked by significant achievements in metalworking, as former sword artisan families transitioned to decorative arts, producing detailed bronze objects featuring naturalistic motifs such as birds, flora, and aquatic scenes.

These pieces were typically cast using the lost-wax method (cire perdue) and finished with chased or engraved high-relief details before applying a chemical patina followed by hand polishing.

Authentic examples exhibit substantial weight, crisp high-relief detailing, age-appropriate patination within deep crevices rather than uniform modern coating, and occasionally incised or cast artist signatures near the base.

Displaying them as a pair on a sideboard, mantelpiece, or console table introduces visual symmetry, dark grounding tones, and sculptural texture against neutral backdrops.

Dust regularly with a soft, dry microfibre cloth, avoid liquid metal polishes or chemical solvents that strip the original patina, and apply a light layer of microcrystalline wax annually to protect the metal.
