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

Created by Alphonse Augis in 1907, the design incorporates a famous line from a romantic poem by Rosemonde Rostand, translating to plus than yesterday, less than tomorrow.

Authentic pieces are typically crafted from 18-carat yellow or white gold, featuring inset precious stones such as calibre-cut rubies for the plus sign and rose-cut diamonds for the minus sign.

Authentic pieces usually feature the signature A.A. makers mark of Alphonse Augis alongside standard French gold hallmarks, such as the eagle head denoting 18-carat gold.

This piece can be worn suspended from a fine gold chain as a standalone statement necklace or layered with other delicate chains for a contemporary textured look.

Clean gently using warm soapy water and a soft-bristled brush, avoiding harsh chemical dips, and store separately in a fabric-lined box to prevent scratching.
