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 detailed casting, dark patination, and gilding, frequently depicting figures from daily life, legend, and musical tradition for domestic display and export.

Artisans employed lost-wax cast bronze finished with rich patination, highlighted with gold lacquer or gilding accents, and typically mounted the figures on carved wooden stands.

Authentic pieces feature sharp surface detail, defined garment folds, expressive figures, distinct multi-toned patination, and occasionally a signed rectangular plaque on the bronze casting or base.

Display the sculpture on a dark timber console table, sideboard, or inside a minimalist bookshelf alcove alongside understated ceramics to create a focused decorative accent.

Dust gently using a dry, soft-bristled brush or clean microfibre cloth, avoiding liquid cleaners, chemical polishes, or damp conditions that could strip the original gilding or alter the patina.
