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

Meiji period (18681912) Japanese metalwork is recognised for exceptional casting, chasing, and patination techniques developed as former samurai sword makers transitioned to decorative art production.

Craftsmen used lost-wax casting (cire perdue) methods with bronze alloys, finished with chemical patination to achieve deep brown or bronze-green tones, accompanied by high-relief carving.

Authentic pieces feature heavy lost-wax cast construction, hand-chased relief details, seamless integration of naturalistic motifs, and natural age-related oxidisation in recessed areas.

Position decorative metalwork on a dark wood sideboard, mantelpiece, or console table, allowing the dark brown patinated surface to contrast against neutral or deeply painted backdrops.

Maintain bronze vessels by dusting regularly with a soft, dry microfibre cloth and applying microcrystalline wax sparingly to preserve the original patinated surface finish.
