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

Japanese export porcelain gained widespread popularity in the late nineteenth century during the Meiji period, when artisan workshops produced ceramics specifically tailored for Western markets.

These pieces were crafted from kaolin clay, fired at high temperatures to achieve a hard white translucent body, and decorated with polychrome enamel glazes and gold gilding.

Authentic Meiji era items typically feature hand-painted figural or landscape scenes, intricate gilding along borders, and occasionally makers marks or red iron-oxide signatures on the base.

Position the bowl as a central accent on a sideboard, console, or open shelving unit, allowing its detailed hand-painted narrative and gilded rim to contrast against muted contemporary surfaces.

Dust gently with a dry microfibre cloth and avoid moisture, harsh chemicals, or abrasive wiping to prevent damage to the delicate overglaze enamels and gold trim.
