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.

This pair of late 19th-century Japanese Meiji period patinated bronze vases displays a dark brown finish and rich decorative detail. Each vessel features a rounded body tapering to a flared foot and a distinct neck encircled by a patterned rim band. Elaborate high-relief cast decorations adorn the dark surfaces, depicting birds perched among intricate tree branches. The sculptural motifs wrap around the metal bodies in high relief, while the turned rims and smooth upper shoulders contrast with the textured natural scenes below. Each vase stands 45 cm high, 30 cm wide, and 30 cm deep. These traditional works suit placement on a sideboard top in a gentleman's library, study, or living room, where they bring period character and fine metalwork to interior schemes.

FAQs

The Meiji period (18681912) represented a pinnacle in Japanese metalwork, noted for lost-wax casting, detailed hand-chasing, and intricate high-relief depictions of natural flora, birds, and folklore themes.

Artisans employed lost-wax casting methods combined with hand-engraving and patination techniques, utilizing natural chemical mixtures to produce rich, dark surface patinas.

Authentic examples demonstrate heavy weight, deep three-dimensional relief carving with refined chasing, natural patination settled into recesses, and occasionally stamped artist seals or signatures near the base.

Displaying a matching pair on a sideboard top, mantelpiece, or bookshelf adds tactile depth, dark metallic tone, and historical interest to modern and traditional spaces alike.

Dust surfaces regularly with a soft, dry microfibre cloth, avoid abrasive liquid cleaners that strip aged patination, and apply a light coat of microcrystalline wax periodically to protect the metal.
