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.

Japanese Meiji Period metalwork, produced between 1868 and 1912, is characteristically recognized for its technical complexity, realistic high-relief carving, and cast decorative motifs depicting nature, flora, and fauna.

Craftsmen employed lost-wax casting techniques using patinated bronze alloys, incorporating mixed metals and high-relief cold carving to create detailed botanical and bird motifs.

Authentic pieces feature significant hand-finished weight, nuanced multi-toned patination, hand-chased relief details, and often artisan cast signatures or seal marks near the base.

Position the pair symmetrically on a large dining room sideboard, entry console table, or flanking a fireplace hearth to create visual balance and historical interest.

Dust regularly with a dry, soft lint-free cloth and avoid liquid cleaners or abrasive polishes, applying a thin coat of microcrystalline wax annually to protect the patinated surface from oxidisation.
