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.

Paste jewellery should never be submerged in water or cleaned with liquid solution, as moisture can damage the foil backing behind the stones. Clean gently using a dry, soft microfibre cloth and store the items in a lined box free from humidity.

A vintage paste suite can complement formal evening wear or add detail to smart tailoring. The drop earrings and matching ring may be worn together as a unified set or styled individually alongside modern minimalist silver pieces.

Authentic paste pieces often display closed-back or blackened settings, delicate hand-cut facets, and subtle signs of age such as slight darkening of the foil or minor surface wear under magnification. The weight and patina of the metal settings also indicate historical production.

Paste items are constructed from dense flint glass set into metal mounts, predominantly sterling silver, silver-gilt, or pinchbeck. Foil backing was frequently placed beneath the glass stones to enhance brilliance and color depth.

Paste jewellery refers to items crafted using hand-cut, high-lead content glass designed to simulate genuine gemstones such as diamonds, emeralds, and sapphires. Originating in the eighteenth century, paste was valued for its brilliance, craftsmanship, and ability to be worked into intricate settings.
