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

During the Meiji period (18681912), Japanese bronze casters transitioned from samurai weaponry production to decorative art for global export, creating detailed metal vessels featuring naturalistic flora and fauna.

These vessels were typically produced using lost-wax casting methods, allowing for high-relief detailing followed by hand-chasing, patination, and selective polishing to highlight structural features.

Authentic period examples exhibit substantial weight, hand-chased relief work, cast signature plaques or incised marks, and natural oxidisation within the recessed details of the patinated surface.

Displaying bronze vases as a symmetrical pair on a dark sideboard, console table, or mantelpiece introduces texture, historical interest, and visual weight to modern interiors.

Dust surfaces regularly with a soft lint-free cloth and avoid chemical polished or abrasive cleaners that strip historic patination; light applications of microcrystalline wax preserve the bronze finish.
