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 inro is a traditional Japanese portable case designed to carry small items such as medicines or seals, suspended from the obi sash of traditional kimono attire.

Craftsmen build lightweight wooden bases, apply multiple layers of refined lacquer tree sap, and sprinkle gold or silver powders onto wet lacquer to form detailed landscape designs.

Authentic pieces feature tight-fitting nested sections, smooth cord channels along the sides, fine lacquer technique, and gentle signs of age-appropriate wear around the edges.

These small decorative objects are typically displayed inside glass collector cabinets, positioned on acrylic stands on bookshelves, or styled atop sideboards alongside other oriental curiosities.

Keep lacquerware away from direct sunlight and extreme humidity fluctuations, cleaning surfaces gently with a dry microfibre cloth to avoid surface abrasion.
