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

Japanese carved lacquerware involves applying multiple coats of natural tree sap lacquer over a wooden core before detailed motifs are carved into the surface, a technique refined over centuries.

These pieces are constructed using a carved wooden base coated with sap harvested from the urushi tree, which is mixed with pigments such as cinnabar for red or carbon for black.

Authentic historical pieces exhibit precise hand-carved detailing, subtle age-related wear, surface craquelure, and a distinct depth of lustre that synthetic varnishes cannot replicate.

Position the plaque on a display easel atop a sideboard, or mount it securely on a neutral accent wall to highlight its contrasting textures and tones.

Keep lacquerware away from direct sunlight and extreme humidity fluctuations, dusting gently with a dry microfibre cloth without applying water or solvent-based chemical cleaners.
