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

During the Meiji period (18681912), Japanese artisans expanded the production of porcelain for international markets, often blending traditional underglaze blue porcelain techniques with lacquerwork to appeal to Western interior tastes.

These vessels were constructed from high-fired kaolin clay decorated with cobalt oxide underglaze, complemented by panels featuring Urushi lacquer, gold leaf, and pigment detailing, set upon carved timber pedestals.

Authentic pieces typically exhibit signs of hand-painted cobalt variations beneath the glaze, aged natural lacquer with subtle surface craquelure, and custom timber bases constructed to fit the specific vessel foot.

Large floor vases are commonly positioned in pairs to flank architectural features such as entryways, fireplaces, or staircases, providing symmetry and height within formal reception spaces.

Dust the ceramic and lacquer surfaces gently using a soft dry cloth. Avoid exposure to high humidity, direct heat, moisture, or chemical solvents, which can degrade the lacquer layer.
