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

Clean gently using warm water with mild soap and a soft-bristled brush, avoiding harsh chemicals, and store separately in a fabric-lined pouch to prevent surface abrasion.

These medals are frequently worn as personal talismans on fine gold chains, layered alongside contemporary necklaces, or appended to charm bracelets.

Authentic pieces often bear French hallmark stamps, such as the eagles head for 18ct gold, along with an engraver or makers signature pressed directly into the metal relief.

High-karat yellow gold, such as 18ct gold, alongside sterling silver and bronze, were the primary materials chosen for durability, lustre, and detail retention in die-struck relief work.

During the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, French engravers integrated Art Nouveau design principles into sacred artwork, featuring flowing lines and naturalistic profiles of religious figures.
