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

During the Victorian era, glass domes were widely used to protect and display delicate items such as taxidermy specimens, artificial floral arrangements, clocks, and pocket watches from dust and soot.

Authentic Victorian display domes feature hand-blown clear glass covers mounted on turned softwood or hardwood bases, which were frequently painted or ebonised black and fitted with baize or velvet inserts.

Original glass domes often display minor irregularities, hand-blown air bubbles, and slight wave patterns in the glass, alongside age-related wear and oxidisation to the ebonised finish on the wooden base.

Display domes serve as focal points when placed on console tables, mantelpieces, or bookshelves, encasing dried botanical specimens, architectural fragments, or sculptural objects.

Clean the glass cover using a non-abrasive microfibre cloth and mild glass cleaner, taking care to avoid harsh chemicals on the ebonised wooden base or internal fabric linings.
