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 bronze artisans adapted traditional casting techniques for global appreciation, producing pieces featuring detailed high-relief motifs of nature, birds, and flora.

These vessels were typically cast using the lost-wax process, followed by hand-chiselling, chasing, and patination to achieve deep colour tones and precise textural detail.

Authentic Meiji bronzes feature sharp, hand-finished relief carving, naturalistic subjects such as birds and botanical motifs, and a rich, layered patina rather than modern uniform spray finishes.

Position the pair symmetrically on a dining room sideboard, mantelpiece, or console table to add visual weight, rich patinated texture, and historical interest to a space.

Dust regularly with a soft, dry cloth and avoid chemical polish or liquid cleaners; an occasional application of microcrystalline wax helps protect the original patina.
