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

In traditional Japanese art, the crane and the tortoise (minogame) represent longevity, good fortune, and harmony. When combined in metalwork as candle holders, the crane stands upon the tortoise while holding a lotus stalk, symbolising the connection between land, sea, and heaven.

These candlesticks were typically created using the lost-wax casting technique (cire perdue), allowing for intricate details in the feathers and shell patterns. The separate elements were assembled, chased by hand, and finished with a dark chemical patina or lacquered surface.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-chased details, natural surface wear, and a multi-layered patina resulting from age. Look for crisp casting lines along the feathers and shell, as well as period-appropriate assembly methods rather than modern threaded screws.

Display the pair symmetrically on a dining sideboard, fireplace mantelpiece, or console table. Their strong vertical lines and dark sculptural form complement both contemporary minimalist spaces and traditional decor schemes.

Dust regularly using a soft, dry lint-free cloth or a natural bristle brush to reach into carved crevices. Avoid chemical metal polishes, solvent cleaners, or water, as these can strip the original bronzing patina and alter the historical finish.
