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

Known as a kakemono or kakejiku, a Japanese hanging scroll is a vertical wall display constructed with painted or calligraphic artwork mounted on decorative fabric backings.

These scrolls typically feature pigments and sumi ink on silk or paper panels, bordered by brocade silk fabrics and finished with wooden roller dowels at the base.

Authentic pieces generally show natural age marks, foxing on the paper or silk, hand-stitched silk mounts, artist seals, and evidence of traditional mounting techniques.

Hang the scroll in a minimalist alcove, along a narrow hallway, or above a low-profile sideboard to allow the vertical composition and narrative motifs to anchor the space.

Keep the scroll away from direct sunlight, moisture, and heating units, and store it loosely rolled around its cylinder inside a dedicated wooden box when unhung.
