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

These pieces feature steel blades housed in scabbards and hilts intricately carved from bone or horn, produced predominantly during the late Edo and Meiji periods for display and export.

The assembly incorporates a forged steel blade fitted into a carved bone or horn scabbard and handle, secured with fittings and traditional suspension cords.

Authentic examples exhibit hand-carved relief detailing following traditional motifs, natural material oxidation, grain variations in the bone, and traditional blade construction.

Mount the piece horizontally on a timber or acrylic display stand atop a sideboard, mantelpiece, or inside a glass cabinet to highlight the carved relief work.

Keep the carved mountings in a climate-controlled environment away from direct heat sources to prevent cracking, and apply light mineral oil to the blade to prevent oxidisation.
