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

French religious medals gained widespread popularity from the 19th through the early 20th centuries as personal tokens of devotion, communion gifts, and protective talismans. Crafted by skilled medallic sculptors, these pieces often feature intricate bas-relief depictions of biblical figures, saints, and holy symbols.

High-grade French devotional jewellery is predominantly struck in 18ct yellow gold or sterling silver. Precious metal pieces often display French hallmarks such as the eagles head for 18ct gold or the boars head for silver, indicating official purity standard verification.

Authentic pieces generally feature french assay marks stamped onto the bail or rim, fine die-struck detail with clear artist signatures, and characteristic weight consistent with solid 18ct gold rather than light gold plating.

Religious medals can be layered on modern gold chains of varying lengths or attached to charm bracelets alongside other antique metal pendants to create a personalized, textured aesthetic.

Clean 18ct gold medals using lukewarm water, a mild detergent, and a soft-bristled brush to remove accumulated dirt from relief areas. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive polishing cloths that can wear down detailed surface carving.
