Dealers Notes

**************************************

Shipping

Other than a few smaller items that can be safely posted, nearly all items are hand delivered (and set up in the case of clocks) by Martin Bros who are one of Britain’s most prestigious carriers of antiques and fine art. I wish us avoid the hassle of cheap men and their vans! The standard (subsidised) delivery price shown is for mainland UK excluding Scotland. Please ask for a Quotation where the standard price is not applicable.

**************************************

Restoration and Presented Condition

I do not subscribe to the shabby chic or make it like new approach using modern materials which can make future restoration extremely difficult and impede long-term investment value.

Any restoration work is done to the highest (museum) standards using traditional materials so as to not compromise the patina of age.

Accordingly, please note some antique items for sale will have wear and marks associated with use over many generations that adds to the aesthetic beauty of the piece from the collector’s perspective.

**************************************

Fine Art - Condition

All Paintings offered have been chosen for their excellent original condition, with where necessary museum standard cleaning, restoration and revarnishing. Presented in Gallery condition they are ready to hang for many generations, before cleaning / revarnishing may be necessary.

**************************************

Any Questions?

I just love acquiring and talking about antiques and fine art so will be pleased to discuss any of the items I have for sale on UK 07515 741344 or Richard.lench1956@gmail.com.

Best wishes Richard

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.
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.
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.

Produced during the reign of the Kangxi Emperor (16621722), this porcelain is characterised by vivid underglaze cobalt blue decoration on a bright white body. Vessels intended for export were often modified upon arrival in Islamic regions, receiving custom silver or white metal mounts to serve as rosewater sprinklers or decorative containers.

The vessel itself is constructed from high-fired kaolin clay decorated with underglaze cobalt mineral pigment prior to glazing. The fitted mounts were hand-chased and engraved from silver or silver alloys by Near Eastern silversmiths to securely overlay the ceramic neck and rim.

Authentic Kangxi pieces typically feature a clean, translucent glaze, vibrant sapphire-like blue tones arranged in distinct tonal layers, and precise line drawing. The foot ring often displays fine, compact clay, sometimes with characteristic grooving or minor pinholes consistent with period kiln firing.

Place the object as a focal accent on a mantelpiece, console table, or within an illuminated display cabinet. Pair it alongside dark wood, leather, or metallic accents to complement the contrast between the ceramic glaze and metalwork.

Dust gently using a soft, dry microfiber cloth. Avoid full immersion in water or the use of chemical metal cleaners, as moisture can seep between the metal fitting and the ceramic surface, causing internal oxidisation or loosening the mount.
