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

Facet stem glasses typically feature polished geometric cuts along the stem, reflecting light and marking a transition from earlier air twist and opaque twist styles towards more brilliant, cut-glass designs.

These pieces were traditionally hand-blown using lead glass, which offered greater clarity, weight, and brilliance, followed by meticulous hand-cutting and polishing of the facets.

Authentic pieces often exhibit characteristic surface wear on the base (pontil marks), minor irregularities or bubbles within the glass matrix, and a specific heft associated with historic lead formulations.

Displaying historical glassware in illuminated cabinets or using single stem glasses as bud vases on a dining table adds a layer of historic texture and sophistication to modern spaces.

Antique glass should always be washed by hand in lukewarm water using mild detergent, avoiding sudden temperature changes and abrasive sponges to protect the delicate surface and historic structure.
