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

Originating as an ancient Chinese ritual wine vessel during the Shang and Zhou dynasties, the Gu shape features a flared rim, a central bulbous section, and a splayed base, frequently reproduced in bronze during the Ming and Qing periods.

These vessels were typically produced using lost-wax or piece-mould casting techniques, followed by hand-finishing, incising archaic decorative motifs, and adding vertical raised ribs or flanges.

Authentic period pieces exhibit crisp hand-tooled execution of archaic patterns, balanced casting weight, subtle inconsistencies typical of handwork, and genuine surface patination or oxidisation.

A bronze Gu vase functions as a refined architectural accent when placed on a sideboard, mantlepiece, or open shelving, creating texture alongside contemporary minimalist elements.

Maintain bronze objects by dusting regularly with a dry, soft cloth while avoiding harsh chemical cleaners or polishes that remove natural patination; microcrystalline wax may be applied sparingly to protect the surface.
