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

Produced between 1868 and 1912, Meiji metalwork emerged as former samurai sword makers adapted traditional forging techniques to create decorative items for export, combining various metal alloys and intricate relief work.

These items typically feature a patinated bronze or copper base ornamented with soft-metal inlays, including gold, silver, shakudo (a gold-copper alloy), and shibuichi (a silver-copper alloy).

Authentic examples demonstrate sharp chiselling, multi-layered metal inlays, distinct patina application, and occasionally carved or stamped maker signatures on the base or lower sides.

Place the vase as a singular accent piece on a sideboard, console table, or mantelpiece, setting it against neutral backgrounds to highlight the dark patina and metalwork motifs.

Maintain the surface by dusting gently with a soft dry cloth, avoiding water, chemical cleaners, or abrasives that could strip the original patination and dislodge delicate metal inlays.
