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

Clean gently with lukewarm water and a soft cloth, avoiding harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the fragile historical surface or any remnant paper labels.

They can be displayed singly or in clusters on shelves, sideboards, or window ledges where natural light highlights the rich tone and tactile texture of the historical glass.

Authentic pieces exhibit heavy glass with natural imperfections such as seed bubbles, uneven thickness, a deep kick-up base, and a rough snapped or polished pontil mark.

These vessels were typically hand-blown from heavy, dark green or olive-tinted glass, often featuring characteristic bubbles, pontil marks, and irregularities resulting from historical glassmaking methods.

Georgian apothecary bottles were produced during the Georgian era (17141830) and were utilised by chemists and apothecaries to store medicinal liquids, herbs, and compounds.
