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 porcelain refers to Japanese export ceramic wares manufactured in the Arita region from the seventeenth century onwards, taking its name from the port of Imari through which it was shipped to foreign markets.

Imari wares are crafted from kaolin-based porcelain clay, decorated first with underglaze cobalt blue, fired at high temperatures, and then finished with overglaze enamels such as iron-red, green, and gold leaf in subsequent lower-temperature firings.

Authentic Edo period pieces typically exhibit spur marks on the base from kiln support, slight irregularities in glaze texture, hand-painted brushwork, and a characteristic palette combining dark cobalt blue, iron-red, and gilding.

An Imari charger can be displayed on a dark wood or metal plate stand atop a sideboard, positioned centrally on a mantelpiece, or secured using a wall hanger as part of a curated gallery wall.

To protect overglaze enamels and gilding, dust softly with a dry microfibre cloth and wash only when necessary using tepid water and gentle detergent, avoiding chemical cleaners and abrasive sponges.
