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

Imari porcelain, originating from the Arita region of Japan, is characterised by its signature palette of underglaze cobalt blue combined with overglaze iron-red and gold embellishments, historically produced for export to European markets.

These jars were hand-thrown from kaolin-rich porcelain clay, painted with cobalt oxide prior to an initial high-temperature firing, and subsequently decorated with enamel paints and gilding before undergoing a second lower-temperature muffle firing.

Authentic pieces from the Meiji era display subtle variations in the porcelain body, hand-painted decoration with varied brushwork weight, natural wear to gold leaf accents, and complex paneled decorative schemes.

A large Imari vase functions as a focal statement piece when positioned on a low sideboard, within a fireplace alcove, or on a central entry table to add historical texture and colour.

Dust the surface regularly with a soft, dry microfibre cloth or feather duster; avoid using chemical cleaning agents, abrasive pads, or immersing the object in water, as moisture can compromise overglaze enamels and original gilding.
