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.

A Japanese Imari garniture is a decorative set of complementary porcelain vessels, traditionally comprising three or five pieces produced during the Edo period for domestic display and export to European markets.

Imari porcelain is constructed from high-fired kaolin clay painted with underglaze cobalt blue, followed by overglaze enamel decoration in iron-red and highlights of gold gilding.

Authentic period pieces display distinct spur marks on the unglazed base, a dense translucent porcelain body, hand-painted underglaze blue outlines, and expected surface wear to the overglaze gilding and enamel layers.

Arrange the garniture symmetrically across a fireplace mantelpiece, sideboard top, or console table to provide visual balance, colour contrast, and historical texture within contemporary room schemes.

Dust gently using a soft, dry microfibre cloth or soft brush, avoiding chemical cleaners, abrasive scrubbers, or prolonged submersion in water that could degrade the overglaze gilding and enamels.
