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.

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

The phrase originates from a 1907 love letter written by poet Rosemonde Rostand to her husband Edmond Rostand, adapted into a medallion design by Alphonse Augis in 1918.

Authentic pieces are usually crafted from 18-carat yellow or rose gold and often bear French eagle head hallmarks alongside the makers stamp A.A.

Authentication relies on checking for period-correct French hallmarks, proper signature placement, specific typography of the Plus and Minus symbols with synthetic stones or raised metal, and the overall weight and patina of the gold.

Such pendants can be worn suspended from a contemporary gold trace chain or heavier curb link, layered alongside other vintage chains for a curated, personal aesthetic.

Clean gently using warm soapy water and a soft-bristled brush, avoiding harsh chemical dips or ultrasonic cleaners that might damage integrated stones or delicate surface textures.
