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

Coloured glass apothecary bottles were designed primarily to store chemical solutions, liquid medicines, and powders, shielding light-sensitive pharmaceutical contents from degradation caused by sunlight.

In the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, apothecary bottles were typically mouth-blown into iron moulds or machine-moulded, utilizing metal oxides such as cobalt to produce vibrant blue hues.

Authentic period examples often exhibit raised mould seams, pontil marks or textured bases, slight irregularities in the glass density, and original fitted metal or ground-glass stoppers showing light oxidisation.

Grouping bottles in odd numbers on window sills allows ambient sunlight to filter through the coloured glass, creating luminous focal points on open shelving, mantelpieces, or sideboard tops.

Clean the glass interior and exterior using lukewarm water and mild soap, avoiding abrasive chemical cleaners or dishwashers, while preserving aged metal caps by gently dusting with a soft dry cloth.
