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

A cushion case features a square or rectangular profile with softly rounded corners, creating a shape reminiscent of a cushion that gained significant popularity during the 1920s through the 1950s.

These timepieces typically utilised precious metals such as 9-carat or 18-carat gold, stainless steel, or gold-plated brass for the case, paired with acrylic crystals and genuine leather straps.

Authentic pieces feature period-correct manual-wind mechanical movements signed by the maker on the bridge or dial, hallmarks indicating metal purity inside the case back, and appropriate aging consistent with the era.

A classic gold dress watch pairs seamlessly with tailored formal wear or elevated smart-casual attire, serving as a subtle focal point that complements other gold accessories.

Regular servicing by a professional horologist every three to five years, avoiding exposure to moisture and magnetic fields, and careful manual winding will ensure the longevity of a mechanical movement.
