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

A penny scent bottle is a small, flattened circular glass vessel, typically produced in coloured glass such as cranberry, designed to hold perfume or smelling salts during the late nineteenth century.

Cranberry glass was created by adding gold salts or oxide to molten glass to achieve its characteristic pinkish-red shade, paired with sterling silver or silver-plated caps and mounts.

Authentic period examples feature hand-blown glass with slight variations in thickness, accurate hallmarks or makers marks on the silver mounts, and functional screw-top or stopper mechanisms.

These wearable vanity pieces can be suspended on a modern sterling silver chain as a statement pendant necklace or displayed in a glass vitrine alongside antique accessories.

Clean the glass surface with a soft, damp microfibre cloth and polish the silver cap using a dedicated silver polishing cloth, avoiding full submersion in water to preserve the internal seals.
