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

During the Meiji period (18681912), Japanese metalworkers transitioned from crafting samurai armour to decorative arts, creating realistic bronzes known as okimono for export and international exhibition.

Craftsmen utilised lost-wax casting combined with hand-chased surface patination, gilt accenting on eyes or claws, and mounted the metal figures onto natural burl or rootwood bases.

Authentic pieces display hand-chased details, realistic feather texturing, multi-part casting assemblies, artisan signatures, and original patination consistent with late 19th-century metalwork.

Position the sculpture on a console, sideboard, or desk as a focal decorative object, pairing it with dark timber or organic textures to highlight its sculptural form.

Dust regularly using a dry microfibre cloth, avoid liquid solvents or abrasive cleaners, and preserve the patinated surface by applying microcrystalline wax sparingly to the metal components.
