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 artisans refined traditional urushi lacquer techniques for domestic ceremonial rituals and export. Large ceremonial sake cups, known as sakazuki, were frequently embellished with intricate maki-e gold powder decorations.

These items are constructed by applying multiple coats of natural sap from the urushi tree over a sculpted wooden frame. Decorative motifs are added using maki-e techniques, where fine gold or silver powder is applied directly into wet lacquer before curing.

Authentic pieces exhibit precise hand-painted gold maki-e work, deep surface lustre from age, and subtle wear at contact points. The underlying wooden structure and overall balance also distinguish historical items from modern synthetic reproductions.

Position the cup and stand set as a focal display piece on a sideboard, console, or open shelving unit. The vibrant vermilion shade creates a strong visual contrast when set against neutral tones, marble, or dark timber.

Store lacquerware away from direct sunlight, sudden temperature shifts, and low-humidity environments to prevent wood shrinkage and cracking. Dust gently using a dry microfibre cloth and avoid using water or chemical cleaners.
