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

French devotional medals gained significant popularity during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, particularly during the Art Nouveau period. Prominent sculptors and engravers were commissioned to create detailed bas-relief portraits of sacred figures, casting or striking them in precious metals for personal wear.

These medallions were typically struck from solid gold, such as 18ct gold, using steel dies to achieve high-definition relief details. The surfaces were often finished with die-engraved signatures, subtle satin textures, and soldered suspension loops for secure attachment to chains.

Authentic French gold medals usually feature official French assay marks, such as the eagle head stamp denoting 18ct gold, alongside makers marks. Sculptor signatures etched directly into the die, such as E. Dropsy, further confirm period authenticity.

An antique gold medallion can be suspended from a contemporary fine gold chain or layered alongside unadorned pendant necklaces of varying lengths to create a textured, personalised jewellery look.

Clean gold pendants using warm water, mild soap, and a soft microfibre cloth to remove surface oils. Avoid abrasive polishes or harsh chemicals that could wear down delicate relief details or maker signatures.
