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

An okimono is a traditional Japanese decorative display object or figurine, which gained popularity during the Meiji period as master metalworkers and lacquer artisans shifted from crafting samurai armour to fine art objects for the home.

Artisans combined sculpted metals such as bronze or copper alloys with lacquered finishes, mother-of-pearl inlays for scales, and inset horn or glass elements to create realistic textures and surface iridescence.

Authentic Meiji okimono display detailed anatomical accuracy, fine hand craftsmanship, realistic movement, and frequently feature an engraved artist signature on the underside.

Position the sculpture on a minimalist shelf, side table, or mantelpiece where direct light highlights the iridescent scales and textured finish, creating a focused sculptural feature.

Dust gently with a dry, soft brush or microfibre cloth, keeping the object away from direct sunlight, extreme humidity, and harsh chemical cleaners that could degrade delicate lacquer or shell inlays.
