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.

Japanese cloisonne, known as shippo-yaki, is a decorative art technique where thin metal wires are soldered onto a metal vessel to form compartments that are filled with coloured enamel paste and fired.

These pieces typically feature a copper or bronze body decorated with brass or silver wire cells, filled with silica-based vitreous enamel pastes and occasionally detailed with aventurine glass particles.

Authentic late 19th-century Japanese cloisonne features precise wirework, smooth polished vitreous surfaces with minimal pitting, intricate motifs such as dragons or floral scrollwork, and dark or copper-lined interiors.

Displaying a pair of flattened moon-flask vases symmetrically on a mantelpiece, sideboard top, or console table introduces historic pattern and artisanal craft into contemporary interiors.

Dust gently using a soft, dry microfibre cloth, avoiding chemical cleaners or abrasive polishes that could damage the delicate enamel surface or tarnish exposed metal accents.
