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

Meiji period bronze metalwork, spanning 1868 to 1912, is recognised for its transition from traditional sword fitting craftsmanship to decorative art created for international markets, defined by heightened realism and naturalism.

Artisans typically employed lost-wax casting techniques using bronze alloys, applying hand-chasing for precise surface detail and chemical patination techniques to achieve nuanced surface colours.

Authentic pieces frequently display distinct realistic surface modelling, naturalistic skin texturing, inset tusks of contrasting materials, and cast or chiseled maker seals on the underside.

Position the piece as an accent object on a dark wood desk, a curated bookshelf, or a mantelpiece alongside leather-bound books and classic decorative items.

Dust the item gently with a soft dry brush or microfiber cloth, avoiding water, chemical cleaners, and abrasive polishes that can remove the historic patination.
