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

Dormeuse earrings feature a forward-facing lever-back mechanism designed for comfort and security. During the late Victorian and Art Nouveau periods, designs shifted toward nature-inspired motifs such as vine leaves, flora, and organic flowing lines.

Pieces were commonly crafted in 15ct or 18ct yellow gold, utilising techniques such as chasing, repousse, and engraving to create tactile leaf and floral textures without adding excess weight.

Authentic period examples feature front-to-back or back-to-front lever closures, precise hand-chased surface details, and historical hallmarks or makers marks on the wire hooks or ear loops.

Warm yellow gold drop earrings offer a understated accent when paired with modern tailoring, neutral knitwear, or minimalist evening dresses.

Clean gently using a soft cloth and mild warm soapy water, avoiding harsh chemical cleaners. Store individual pieces in lined boxes or cloth pouches to prevent scratching delicate chased detailing.
