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

First Communion medals were traditionally gifted in France during the late 19th and early 20th centuries to commemorate a young persons religious milestone. These pieces often feature sacred motifs such as the Eucharistic chalice, host, wheat, and grapevine.

High-grade 18-carat yellow, rose, and white gold were frequently utilised, often combined in a single piece to create multi-coloured dimensional reliefs. Craftsmanship relied on die-striking and hand-engraving techniques to achieve fine detail.

Authentic French gold items typically bear official French hallmarks, such as the eagles head stamp for 18-carat gold, usually applied to the loop or outer rim. Additional signs include crisp hand-finished engraving, multi-toned gold work, and authentic wear around the suspension ring.

Antique religious medals can be styled as focal pendants on delicate modern gold chains or integrated into curated charm bracelets alongside other historical pieces. They can also be displayed in small shadow boxes or velvet trays as decorative personal keepsakes.

To preserve antique gold jewellery, gently wipe the surface using a soft microfiber cloth and lukewarm water mixed with mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals, abrasive polishers, or ultrasonic cleaners that could damage delicate engravings or soft solder joints.
