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 okimono is a decorative display ornament crafted in Japan, particularly popular during the Meiji period (18681912) when metalworkers transitioned from crafting samurai armour to decorative art objects for domestic and export markets.

Japanese artisans typically utilised lost-wax casting (cire perdue) techniques with bronze alloys, followed by meticulous hand-chiselling to create detailed surface textures such as fur, along with patination treatments using natural chemical baths.

Authentic pieces usually feature detailed hand-chiselled surface textures, naturalistic animal forms, artist signatures (mei) cast or incised into the base, and age-appropriate patination with subtle wear in handled areas.

Displaying bronze sculptures on a dark wood bookshelf, side table, or mantelpiece creates a refined focal point, pairing well with organic textures, stoneware ceramics, or dark academia interiors.

Dust gently with a soft, dry horsehair brush or microfibre cloth, avoiding harsh chemical cleansers or water; periodic application of a clear microcrystalline wax will protect the patination.
