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.
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.
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.

Meiji period cloisonne enamel is recognised for its technical refinement, transitioning from traditional opaque enamels to vibrant, translucent glazes applied over foil or metal bases. Craftspeople during this era mastered silver wire application and intricate foil techniques, producing complex floral and naturalistic designs.

Ginbari enamel involves applying a layer of translucent enamel over a silver foil base that has been stamped or worked in relief. Fine silver wires are shaped to form the outlines of design motifs, filled with coloured enamel pastes, fired multiple times, and polished to a smooth finish.

Authentic pieces display precise silver wire work, high clarity in the translucent glaze, and silver mounts on the rim and foot. Stamped maker marks on the base rim and the depth of the translucent foil ground help distinguish original Meiji craftsmanship from later reproductions.

Display the vase as an accent piece on a sideboard, mantelpiece, or shelving unit against a neutral backdrop to highlight the enamel colour. Pairing metalwork with minimalist wooden furniture creates a balanced contrast between historic craftsmanship and contemporary decor.

Dust the surface regularly with a soft microfibre cloth without applying liquid cleaners or abrasive chemical solutions. Keep the item away from direct heat sources, sudden temperature changes, and excess moisture to preserve the enamel glaze and prevent metal oxidisation.
