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

A katana is a single-edged curved sword historically used by the samurai class in feudal Japan. It features a long handle designed for a two-handed grip and a circular or square handguard known as a tsuba.

Authentic katana blades are forged from high-carbon Japanese steel called tamahagane. The hilt is typically made of wood covered in rayskin, wrapped in silk or leather cord, and paired with a lacquered wooden scabbard.

Authenticity is determined by examining the signature etched on the tang under the handle, known as the mei. Experts also analyse the forging grain pattern, hamon temper line, construction of the fittings, and steel oxidisation.

A katana is best displayed horizontally on a dedicated wooden stand placed on a bookshelf, sideboard, or desk. Positioning it against a neutral backdrop highlights the silhouette and craftsmanship of the scabbard and hilt.

The blade should be kept lightly oiled with traditional choji oil to prevent rust and corrosion. Avoid touching the metal directly with hands, and display the sword away from direct sunlight, extreme humidity, or temperature fluctuations.
