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

An okimono is a traditional Japanese decorative carving created strictly for display in an alcove or cabinet, distinct from a netsuke which served a functional purpose as a toggle.

Craftsmen typically utilised dense hardwoods such as boxwood, ebony, and cherrywood, often accentuating details like eyes with contrasting materials such as horn, bone, or mother-of-pearl.

Authentic pieces generally feature high-level hand carving detail, realistic surface textures such as incised fur, natural age patina, and occasionally an artist signature carved into the base.

Small carved sculptures work exceptionally well placed on a wooden bookshelf, styled within a glazed curiosity cabinet, or displayed on a desk alongside leather-bound books.

Dust gently with a soft dry brush and keep the piece away from direct sunlight, central heating sources, and extreme humidity shifts to prevent the wood from cracking or drying out.
