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

Imari porcelain refers to Japanese export wares made in the Arita area of Hizen province and shipped from the port of Imari. Developed in the 17th century, it is historically recognised for its distinctive palette combining underglaze cobalt blue with overglaze iron red, gold, and colourful enamels.

These pieces were crafted from dense porcelain clay and high-fired for durability. Artisans applied initial designs in underglaze cobalt blue before a primary glaze firing, after which intricate figurative and floral reserves were hand-painted using overglaze enamels and re-fired at a lower temperature.

Authentic late 19th-century pieces exhibit fine hand-painted brushwork with slight natural irregularities, unglazed firing rims at the base showing aged porcelain body, and minor wear to overglaze enamels. Period examples also feature hand-poured glaze inconsistencies rather than modern smooth production finishes.

A large lidded porcelain jar functions as a focal accent when placed on a dark wood sideboard, console table, or fireplace mantelpiece. Pairing the patterned ceramic with minimalist backdrop surfaces or muted wall finishes highlights the intricate hand-painted artwork without cluttering the space.

Dust regularly with a dry, soft microfibre cloth. Avoid abrasive sponges, harsh chemical detergents, or soaking, as overglaze iron red and polychrome enamel decoration can wear away over time if subjected to harsh scrubbing.
