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

Meiji period metalwork is renowned for elaborate mixed-metal techniques developed after sword-making was restricted in late nineteenth-century Japan. Artisans transferred samurai sword ornamentation skills to decorative objects, using precious metal inlays and high-relief carving.

Artisans employed cast bronze as a primary base, accenting surfaces with gold, silver, copper, and specialized alloys such as shakudo (gold-copper) and shibuichi (silver-copper) to achieve varied tonal depth and contrast.

Authentic pieces display precise hand-chased relief work, seamless metal inlay, natural surface patination, and substantial weight relative to their size, often featuring subtle maker marks or signatures near the base.

Place the box on a minimalist console table, curated bookshelf, or tray top to highlight its detailed surface as a tactile focal point alongside modern ceramics or dark wood surfaces.

Dust gently with a clean, dry microfibre cloth and avoid liquid polishes or abrasive chemical cleaners that strip historical patination. A light application of microcrystalline wax can be applied to protect metal surfaces from oxidisation.
