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.

FAQs

Clean antique glass gently with lukewarm water and mild soap, avoiding harsh abrasives or soaking, to protect fragile hand-painted gilding and historical surfaces.

Display the decanter on a polished wooden sideboard, bar cart, or open shelving to catch the light and highlight its rich colour against neutral backdrops.

Authentic pieces often exhibit pontil marks on the base from hand-blowing, genuine wear to the hand-applied gilding, and characteristic heavy, deep blue glass composition.

These pieces were typically free-blown or mold-blown from rich cobalt glass, then hand-gilded with genuine gold leaf and fired to set the metallic decoration.

Bristol blue glass is a distinctive deep cobalt glass produced in Bristol, England, during the late 18th and early 19th centuries, famously coloured with cobalt oxide.
