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

Wanli period porcelain refers to ceramics produced during the reign of the Wanli Emperor (15721620) of the Ming Dynasty, notable for international export trade and distinct panelled underglaze blue decoration.

Pieces were crafted from high-fired white porcelain clay, painted with cobalt blue oxide pigment prior to glazing, and fired in kilns at temperatures exceeding 1200 degrees Celsius.

Authentic examples often exhibit characteristic glaze surface variations, unglazed foot rims showing wear consistent with age, distinct underglaze blue tonality, and period-specific decorative motifs such as stylised dragons and panelled borders.

These items can be displayed as focal accents on dark timber sideboards, placed within open shelving alongside contemporary art, or arranged on a mantelpiece.

Clean gently using a soft dry brush or damp microfibre cloth with lukewarm water, avoiding chemical detergents, abrasive sponges, or prolonged immersion in water.
