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.

An okimono is a small Japanese decorative carving or figurine, traditionally crafted during the Edo and Meiji periods for display within domestic alcoves.

Boxwood features an exceptionally fine grain and dense structure that allows craftspeople to execute minute details without splitting the timber.

Authentic pieces typically exhibit natural surface patination, finely rendered detail work in areas like scales or fur, and genuine artist signatures carved into discreet locations.

Displaying small carved sculptures on a minimalist shelf, curated tray, or within a glass display cabinet creates a focused focal point that highlights intricate craftsmanship.

Dust gently with a soft microfibre cloth or natural hair brush, avoiding liquid cleaners, high humidity, or direct sunlight to prevent cracking or uneven oxidisation of the timber.
