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

Dragon motifs in Chinese metalwork traditionally symbolise power, strength, and good fortune, frequently appearing on decorative cast bronze items produced for both domestic use and export during the late Qing Dynasty and Victorian periods.

Antique bronze vessels were typically formed using lost-wax or sand casting techniques, followed by meticulous hand-chasing to refine raised relief patterns such as dragons, clouds, and geometric borders.

Authentic pieces display evidence of historical hand-craftsmanship, subtle variations in metal thickness, authentic surface patination, and hand-chased relief details rather than uniform modern machine moulding.

These metallic vessels function as versatile decorative accents, bringing warmth and sculptural interest when styled on a mantelpiece, sideboard top, or bookshelf.

Maintain the aged metal by dusting regularly with a soft, dry cloth; avoid abrasive metal polishes, chemical cleaners, and prolonged moisture, which can strip away the original patina.
