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 metalwork is identified by high technical precision, featuring multi-metal relief work using copper, silver, gold, and specialized alloys like shakudo and shibuichi, often depicting flora, fauna, and traditional mythology.

Craftsmen typically utilised a bronze base embellished with inlays of gold, silver, copper, and alloys such as shakudo (gold-copper) and shibuichi (silver-copper) to create varied colour and tonal contrasts.

Authentic pieces feature crisp relief carving, layered metal inlays, patinated surfaces, and precise craftsmanship, reflecting the transition of former sword-fitting artisans to decorative domestic objects in late 19th-century Japan.

Place the vessel on a low console table, sideboard, or mantelpiece where the multi-metal detail can catch the light, pairing it with neutral backdrops to emphasize its dark patinated bronze surface.

Dust regularly with a dry, soft microfibre cloth and avoid harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive polishes, which can strip natural patination and damage delicate mixed metal inlays.
