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

Oriental bronze vases, particularly those from the late Qing dynasty or Meiji period, are defined by detailed lost-wax casting techniques, rich surface patination, and realistic nature motifs such as birds, fauna, and flowering branches.

Craftsmen typically utilised copper alloys and the lost-wax casting method, incorporating hand-chased relief details or applied metal elements to construct detailed botanical and avian designs.

Authentic pieces generally exhibit natural surface patination from age, subtle irregularities in hand-chased relief details, wear on the underside of the base, and occasionally stamped or cast maker marks.

Placing a pair of bronze vases symmetrically on a mantelpiece, console table, or sideboard creates a balanced, sculptural focal point that contrasts well with contemporary schemes.

Bronze should be dusted regularly using a soft, dry cloth and preserved with a light application of neutral microcrystalline wax to guard against humidity and oxidisation.
