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.

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

In the nineteenth century, glass display domes were used to protect delicate objects such as mantel clocks, wax flower arrangements, taxidermy, and porcelain figurines from airborne dust and soot.

Authentic period domes were constructed from thin, mouth-blown clear glass mounted on painted or ebonised softwoods, often finished with a felt-lined groove to secure the glass in place.

Original period glass domes typically feature subtle irregularities, such as air bubbles, waves, or slight thickness variations inherent to hand-blown glass, along with natural age wear to the timber base.

A cloche can be styled on a mantelpiece, sideboard, or bookshelf to house small collectibles, dried botanicals, or sculpture, adding vertical interest and historical depth to contemporary spaces.

Clean the glass carefully using a soft lint-free cloth and mild glass cleaner, avoiding abrasive chemicals, and dusted gently around the wooden base using a dry brush.
