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.

Imari ware originates from the Arita region of Japan and is characterised by its distinctive underglaze cobalt blue combined with overglaze iron red and gold embellishments. During the 19th century, these porcelain pieces were produced extensively for both domestic appreciation and international export.

Artisans crafted these pieces using hard-paste kaolin clay, firing the body with underglaze cobalt blue details first. After glazing, detailed overglaze enamel colours, particularly iron red and gold leaf, were applied before a final low-temperature kiln firing.

Authentic 19th-century Imari chargers typically feature spurred kiln marks on the reverse, rich asymmetric panelled decoration, dense geometric scrolling, and visible hand-painted variations. The unglazed porcelain foot rim often displays a greyish-white paste with occasional iron spots.

Mount the charger securely on a focal wall using a specialised plate hanger, or display it on a plate easel positioned atop a console table or sideboard. Its saturated colour palette complements both neutral modern backdrops and traditional dark wood furniture.

Clean gently using a soft, dry microfibre cloth to remove surface dust without disturbing delicate overglaze gilding. Avoid liquid detergents, abrasive chemicals, or submersion in water, as moisture can degrade historical surface gilding over time.
