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.

Imari porcelain originates from the Arita region in Japan and was historically exported via the port of Imari. Meiji period (18681912) examples are characterised by complex panelled layouts combining underglaze cobalt blue with overglaze enamels in iron-red, green, and gold gilding.

These items were crafted from hard-paste porcelain clay. They underwent a multi-stage firing process, starting with underglaze cobalt blue painting, followed by high-temperature firing, and concluding with detailed overglaze enamel pigments and gold leaf application fired at lower temperatures.

Authentic pieces display hand-painted variations rather than modern transfer prints, asymmetrical glaze pooling, and minor spur marks on the underside from kiln supports. Additionally, authentic gilding shows gentle historical wear rather than bright modern chemical gold coatings.

A large Imari shallow bowl works effectively as a focal point on a dark wood sideboard, displayed upright on a custom plate stand, or mounted on a focal wall. The rich blue and iron-red palette complements both classical period furniture and contemporary minimalist schemes.

Clean using a soft microfiber cloth and lukewarm water with mild detergent. Avoid abrasive sponges, chemical polishes, or submersion in hot water, as these can degrade fragile overglaze enamels and original gilding.
