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 religious medals gained widespread popularity during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, particularly during the Art Nouveau period. Renowned engravers and sculptors created detailed relief medallions depicting sacred figures, blending spiritual devotion with fine decorative artistry.

High-grade precious metals, such as 18 carat yellow gold, silver, and bronze, were typically struck using heavy dies to achieve crisp relief details. These pieces feature integrated or soldered suspension bails for attachment to chains or charm bracelets.

Authentic French gold pieces typically bear official French hallmarks, such as the eagle head mark for 18 carat gold, struck on the bail or outer rim. Additionally, many pieces bear artist signatures or initials engraved along the profile edge by recognised medallic sculptors.

Antique gold medallions are frequently worn layered with fine contemporary chains of varying lengths and textures. They can also be displayed in velvet-lined jewellery trays or suspended inside glass locket displays as collectible miniature metalwork.

Clean gently using lukewarm water, mild soap, and a soft microfibre cloth to remove accumulated skin oils from the relief details. Store separately in a fabric-lined pouch or box to prevent surface abrasions from harder gemstones.
