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

During the nineteenth century, glass domes were widely used to display taxidermy, clock mechanisms, wax flowers, and natural history specimens, protecting delicate items from dust and soot in Victorian homes.

These domes were hand-blown using cylinder glass blowing techniques, resulting in slight thickness variations and occasional air bubbles, mounted upon turned wooden bases often finished with ebonisation or rosewood polish.

Authentic Victorian pieces often feature hand-blown glass with subtle irregularities, minor air seed inclusions, an unpolished rough pontil mark or ground rim, and age-related wear to the wooden base and fabric lining.

Glass display domes serve as decorative accents on sideboards, mantelpieces, or bookshelves to showcase sculpture, dried botanicals, pocket watches, or natural curiosities within modern decor schemes.

Clean the exterior glass using a soft, lint-free microfibre cloth and a mild glass cleaner, ensuring liquid does not contact the wooden base or interior fabric lining.
