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

Preserve antique enamels by keeping them away from direct sunlight, humidity, and extreme temperature fluctuations, cleaning them only with a soft, dry microfibre cloth and avoiding any liquids or chemical polishes.

These miniature collectables can be displayed inside glass-fronted cabinets, positioned on a dressing table tray, or styled on a bookshelf to add a touch of historic charm and fine detail to interiors.

Authentic pieces generally exhibit heavy copper oxidation, subtle irregularities in the hand-painted enamel surface, traditional fire cracking within the glaze, and period-appropriate cast brass mounts rather than modern machine-made hinges.

These items were crafted using a copper base coated in an opaque white or coloured enamel glaze, which was then hand-painted with mineral oxides and fired in a kiln, typically finished with a gilt-brass or pinchbeck hinge and mount.

Bilston enamel patch boxes are small, decorative containers produced during the 18th century in South Staffordshire, England, primarily used by Georgian fashionistas to hold small adhesive fabric patches used to cover blemishes or accent the face.
